The story

## From reading submissions to deciding on them

1

### The bottleneck

Every new-business submission arrives as an application, loss runs and supporting forms. An underwriter had to read all of it and pull out the facts before making a call, about four hours a submission.

2

### What changed

Kolena's AI agents read the submission, structure the facts, flag anything non-standard and link every fact to the page it came from. The agent surfaces the facts. The underwriter still makes the call.

3

### The result

Submission review dropped from four hours to about five minutes. In February 2026, Highview handled twice the submissions it had a year earlier, with a smaller staff.

How it works

## Every fact links back to its page

Kolena's AI agents read the submission and return the facts an underwriter needs, each one linked to the page it came from.

> “There isn't room for the model to say 'this is a good risk or a bad risk' anymore. Now it says: here are the facts. Getting that information in front of the underwriter is where we've seen the greatest improvement.”
