Digital Underwriting Guide
- Scales output
Over 100 pages of underwriting requirements, turned into an interactive guide: an agent enters a few numbers and sees which underwriting class their client could fall into.

The challenge
To estimate which underwriting class a client might qualify for, agents had to cross-reference several massive tables spread across more than 100 pages of underwriting requirements — slow work that stood between an agent and a confident conversation with their client.
The approach
I launched a digital underwriting guide that does the cross-referencing for the agent. Instead of working through the tables, an agent enters a few numbers and the guide shows which underwriting class their client could fall into.
Where AI helped
I used AI as a tool on the repetitive parts of this project. The decisions, and what shipped, stayed with me.
- Extracting the underwriting tables from a legacy PDF into JSON arrays.
- Refactoring the first working version into configuration arrays and smaller functions, so the rules live in data instead of logic.
- Translating components from React to vanilla JavaScript, which cut dependencies.
- Troubleshooting integrations.
A person reviewed the extracted JSON for accuracy.
The results
- More than 100 pages of underwriting tables replaced by a few inputs.
- Agents get an underwriting class estimate without cross-referencing tables by hand.
