A practice’s placement policy usually lives in a procedures document. In InsightDealDesk it lives in the Rules Studio as placement controls — sentences a practice leader can read, test against a real deal and publish.
The controls that ship
| Control | When | Effect |
|---|---|---|
CONFLICTS_NOT_CLEARED | Conflicts not cleared and a quote received | block |
BIND_ABOVE_AUTHORITY | Limit above the deal broker’s authority | refer |
LIMIT_ABOVE_ASK | Selected limit above what the client asked | refer |
RETENTION_OUT_OF_BAND | Retention outside 0.5%–1% of EV | warn |
What a rule can read
Controls read a context the deal builds: sector, stage, EV, limit asked, conflicts cleared, quotes received, whether a quote is selected and above the ask, retention as a share of EV, limit above the broker’s authority, open diligence gaps, known issues, high findings and binder differences.

The Studio is the same one the rest of the Insight platform uses. A practice that adds a control — say, a refer when a deal closes within a week with high findings unreviewed — writes it as a sentence over these fields, tests it against the live book, and publishes.
