CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Convr®, the leader in AI for commercial insurance, today announced Scout, a new feature within the Convr AI Underwriting Workbench Answers module that helps insurers uncover hard-to-find business data and write small commercial risks faster.
Many small businesses such as landscapers, contractors, food trucks, and other Main Street operations have limited digital footprint. That absence of information has traditionally meant slower reviews, more manual research, and higher uncertainty about whether a business and its exposures are what the submission claims.
"Scout closes the knowledge gap on insureds, from open question to decision-ready," said Harish Neelamana, Founder, President and Chief Product Officer at Convr. "It's built for insurers writing small commercial risk that want to scale without sacrificing the diligence that comes with truly knowing the account."
Scout completes an advanced web search with just a business name and address and dives into the Convr Risk Context Engine's data lake to glean hard to find risk insights in instances where teams lack the supporting forms and documents needed to assess a small business.
Firmographic and exposure items such as business metrics, hours of operation, classifications, property and locations, liens, licenses and violations and more are all generated into a single record with commercial insurance context quickly organized and ready for review.
"You can't get this data and delivery just anywhere. The information is generated within a single record with commercial insurance context and ready for quote, instead of data hunting and digging through search engines," said Eli O'Donohue, Head of Data and AI Underwriting Solutions at Convr. "We're surfacing hard to find data, determining whether the risk fits appetite, and putting a complete view of the risk in a single view, with real commercial insurance context."
Brokers, carriers, MGAs/MGUs are already adopting Scout to speed up small commercial underwriting without sacrificing the diligence needed to write these accounts confidently. If you too would like to experience Scout within the Convr Answers module, schedule a demo on convr.com, today.
