- Part of the Insight broker suite — InsightDealDesk · InsightDueDiligence
The AI-first workbench for R&W, tax and contingent liability insurance on M&A deals. Eleven agents read the agreement and the diligence, predict the exclusions, compare the quotes and check the binder — every finding cited to its page. Nothing goes to a market, and nothing is bound, until a broker decides.
Illustrative: figures from the fictional demo book shown on this site. Your deals will differ.


Built for a broker’s transaction risk practice
The running product on fictional deals. The agents’ text is what Claude wrote for them; every figure is the engines’. Click a screen for the full page.

The comparison engine computes retention as a share of EV, rate on line and total cost, and lines up the deal-specific exclusions and the wording that differs.
The quote agent reads that grid — not the PDFs — and prepares a recommendation for a broker to accept, change, reject or ask.
A software buyout, three quotes
Every rep with its qualifier, its schedule, the diligence report behind it and the page it was read from. A data privacy rep with no cyber diligence shows red.
Those are the reps an underwriter narrows — so the diligence gap agent raises them before the submission, not at the indication.
Where placements slip
The agreed $1.3M drop-down retention is missing and a product recall exclusion appeared that nobody agreed. The binder agent says so, cites both, and prepares the send-back.
Catching a binder that differsThe judgement is what the client pays for. The reading — every rep, schedule and diligence report, every market’s appetite, every quote revision — is what the day is spent on.
A disclosed audit or a quantified diligence finding becomes a deal-specific exclusion the client hears about at the indication.
A data privacy rep with no cyber diligence is the rep an underwriter narrows — and the one most likely to be claimed on.
Limit, retention, premium, fees, rate on line and exclusions, re-keyed every time a market revises.
A drop-down retention missing, an exclusion added — and the binder becomes the policy.
A workspace per deal, eleven agents that prepare the work, and the controls that keep them inside a broker’s authority.
One page per deal: the seven-stage strip, the agents’ work on top, every figure a click from its page.

Into page-level pieces (InsightXtract in production), so every citation points at a page.
Reps, schedules, diligence, InsightPulse intelligence, the engines’ market fit and quote grid.
Over the cited facts, in a fixed shape: findings, a recommendation, what to negotiate.
A number that is not in the facts throws the answer away; the agent’s own findings stand.
Accept, change, reject or ask — signed on the decision record and counted as evidence.
Every action that commits the client or the brokerage — sending a submission, approaching markets, selecting a quote, accepting a binder, signing off — is capped at ask first, whatever the dial says.
The data room against the placement checklist; drafts the request for what is missing.
Every rep, its qualifier — knowledge, materiality or flat — and the schedules it relies on.
The reps no diligence report covers: the ones an underwriter will narrow.
Disclosed and quantified issues turned into the deal-specific exclusions to expect.
The target’s company 360, subsidiaries, leadership and news from InsightPulse.

Conflicts not cleared blocks quote selection; a limit above the broker’s authority refers to a practice leader; a retention outside 0.5%–1% of EV warns. Tested against a real deal and versioned.
Insurer, limit, retention, drop-down, premium, exclusions, enhancements and conditions — missing, added or different, graded by severity.
Every control hit, every prepared decision, every answer with its note and every sign-off — replayable for a client, an auditor or an E&O reviewer.



InsightDealDesk works on its own data room. With its sibling products, the target’s diligence, intelligence and documents arrive as data, each exchange signed.
Illustrative deals followed from mandate to binder, with the screens and what the agents cited.
$24M of R&W cover, three markets, and an Ohio sales tax audit every quote excludes.
A drop-down retention missing and a product recall exclusion nobody agreed.
Read the data room, predict the exclusions, match the markets, compare the quotes, check the binder.
No. Sending, approaching markets, selecting a quote, accepting a binder and signing off are capped at ask-first whatever the dial says. Outside production every send is a dry run.
The engines compute every figure. An agent answer with a number that is not among its cited facts is discarded and the agent’s own findings stand, labelled as such.
The trace records tokens and cost on every step. On the illustrative deals shown here a full Analyze of eleven agents cost about one cent; your deals will differ.
No. Every market, deal, target, person and figure on this site is fictional and labelled illustrative.
