Creating efficiencies for underwriters is complex. No two underwriting offices function in the same way and no two underwriters process information in the same way. Building technology to create these productive efficiencies is not a technological challenge, but a design challenge. This is because there are just so many edge cases that if you simply design for the typical workflow, you will miss quite a bit of the opportunity.
