01Top of funnel: submission volume

Signal-based broker outbound

Score the broker universe, watch for the moments a broker is about to place risk, and have agents write the first email for the underwriter.

Line to submission volume. New submitting offices and first submissions from brokers who never sent one. This is the anchor play.

Priority = fit (0 to 100, from Claude) + intent (0 to 40, from firm-level signals in the last 45 days). Names stay masked until Reveal; that is the only action that spends an Apollo credit, capped at 12 a day on this demo.

The one-pager agent

Type a broker. Get the brief before the call.

The agent you reacted to on our call. It researches the broker and the firm live, then writes one page: who they are, what their book probably holds, which of your products fit, three things to say, the MGA objection, and the first question to ask. Saved to a link the underwriter can forward.

Funnel math

Signals to submissions, with the assumptions exposed.

Gmail-safe per sender is about 20. Three underwriters is 60.

My own engine runs about 25% on cold. Signal-led should do better; I'd plan on 20.

About 5% of sends on my engine, which is 20% of replies.

Assumption. This is the number I most want from you.

Industry rule of thumb is 40%; Shepherd's 24-hour desk should beat it. 55 is a guess.
