When we first launched Brief Builder, the goal was simple: give carriers a faster way to turn the sprawl of state rate and form filings into something they could actually read on a Tuesday morning. Pick a few carriers, a line of business, a state or two, a date range — and get back a synthesized brief instead of a dozen tabs and a folder of PDFs.

That version has done real work. Pricing teams use it to track what competitors are filing each week. Product leaders scan it before renewal planning. Underwriting uses it to spot form language shifts before they become coverage surprises. It replaced a process that, for many of our customers, used to eat an entire afternoon or multiple days.

But the conversations we've had with carriers over the last several months kept pointing at the same thing. Speed is table stakes now. What teams increasingly need is trust — the ability to look at a brief, understand exactly which filings shaped each claim, and confidently hand it to a VP or a regulator without a caveat. They also need specificity — the ability to ask very particular questions ("what are carriers doing with wildfire exclusions in homeowners this quarter?") without losing the structured filters that keep analysis clean.

Recently, we've rolled out the biggest update to Brief Builder since launch. It is a different product, built around that feedback.
‍

A more intuitive workflow

The first thing you'll notice is a redesigned interface. Report type, analytical lens, and filters are now organized as a clear, stepped workflow — no more hunting for settings or re-entering the same filter across multiple runs. The current scope is always visible on the right, so you can see exactly how many filings, carriers, and states are driving the brief before you generate it. It's a small change that compounds across every brief you run.
‍

Analytical lenses: the right brief for the question you're actually asking

The single largest shift: briefs are no longer one-size-fits-all. When you start a new brief, you now choose an analytical lens — the perspective the analysis will take.

• General Market Intelligence — broad competitive scanning, filing volume and frequency, market entry and expansion. The right choice when you're monitoring a book or tracking competitor movement.
• Rate & Pricing Analysis — rate change magnitudes and directional trends, pricing structure modifications, regulatory rate patterns. Built for pricing actuaries and product managers.
• Form Trend Analysis — coverage strategy, new or expanded exclusions, policy language standardization, endorsement activity. Built for coverage, underwriting, and legal.
• Keyword Deep Dive — pull every filing that matches a specific term or concept, in the context of all your other filters.

Same underlying data. Fundamentally different briefs. You can run a Form Trend Analysis on RV lines in the Southeast at 9:00 and a Rate & Pricing Analysis on the same scope at 9:02 — and get two reports that each speak directly to a different team.
‍

Evidence scoring: know how much weight the brief can carry

Every brief now ships with an Evidence Strength indicator — a transparent signal of how strongly the analysis is supported by the underlying filings. Strong evidence means the scope includes enough filings, with enough citation-quality data, to stand behind the conclusions. Weaker evidence is a flag to widen your scope, extend your date range, or treat the brief as directional rather than definitive.

We've been deliberate about one thing here: evidence strength is not a prediction of importance or correctness. It's a measure of analytical grounded-ness. It tells you whether the filings in scope actually support the narrative — which is exactly the question a skeptical reader is going to ask. You can now answer it before they do.
‍

Keyword deep dives with full filter context

Keyword search across filings isn't new. What's new is running a keyword deep dive without giving up any of the structure that made Insuraviews useful in the first place.

Need a brief on every mention of "generative AI" across Personal Auto filings in California and Texas for the last six months? Done. Tracking a specific endorsement name, a regulatory phrase, or a product term across a focused set of carriers? Done. You keep your line of business, carrier, state, filing type, and date filters — and layer in your keywords on top. The brief comes back scoped to exactly what you asked for, with the same citations and evidence score you get everywhere else.

This is the feature we expect teams to build habits around. It's the difference between "I read something about this" and "here's the full picture, scoped to our book, with citations."
‍

Exports that fit your workflow

Briefs now export the way you actually use them:

• Copy — grab the full contents in a single click to paste into a Slack thread, a doc, or an executive summary.
• PDF — a clean, shareable version for stakeholders who want the full formatted report.
• CSV — for teams that want to pipe filings and findings into their own tooling.
• TXT — for lightweight archiving and ingestion into downstream systems.

Briefs have always been worth circulating internally. Now they're easier to circulate.

What this means for you

If you're already on Insuraviews: The new Brief Builder is live in your instance now. The filters and workflows you've built around Brief Builder aren't going anywhere — they're being extended. Updated documentation is available today, and we're running a short walkthrough session for customer teams in the coming days; your customer success contact will be in touch with details.

If you're evaluating Insuraviews: Briefs are one of the fastest ways to see what the platform can do with your book, your competitors, and your states. We'd love to run a live brief with you as part of a demo.

The broader shift matters even more than any individual feature. Market intelligence is only as useful as the decisions teams are willing to make from it. By building in lenses, evidence, and depth, we're pushing briefs from "a useful summary" toward something carriers can confidently stake a decision on.

Open Brief Builder and give it a run.
