Industries › Insurance Brokers
The questions insurance brokers actually ask, answered against the numbers that decide them — with unedited excerpts from real analyses.
The bind specific to this industry is that 71 percent of revenue flows through carrier commissions while shifting an incremental 8 percent to fees would require replacing 142 renewal accounts and cut near-term margin by 1.8 to 2.3 points. Almost every strategic question in insurance brokers runs into it eventually, which is why answers borrowed from other sectors tend to point at the wrong lever first.
The numbers that carry most decisions here are 19.0, 91.2, 664, 31. Analysis that starts from revenue and works down rarely reaches them; analysis that starts from them usually settles the question in one pass.
This is unedited output from a completed run on Kesterline Risk Partners — 47.8 million dollars in total revenue from commissions and fees — a sample profile used for testing rather than a customer.

The move. Convert 460 commission accounts to fee retainers, funding a $3-5M digital workbench from productivity gains while staying inside the $4.8m investment ceiling.
| Investment required | $3.0-5.0M total (base $3.0M, upside $5.0M for accelerated digital workbench) |
| Expected return | 3.2-4.8× over 36 months on $3-5M investment, based on +$4.2-8.5M incremental fee revenue at 35-45% gross margin versus current 19% operating margin. |
| Revenue, year 1 | $50.1-51.8M total revenue (+$2.3-4.0M incremental fee) |
| Revenue, year 2 | $54.4-57.9M total revenue (+$6.6-10.1M incremental fee) |
| Revenue, year 3 | $58.2-64.8M total revenue (+$10.4-17.0M incremental fee) |
| Exit criteria | Strategy should be reversed if, within 12 months, pilot conversion rate falls below 15% OR incremental churn exceeds 5% OR producer productivity drops below $600k average; OR if, within 24 months, cumulative fee revenue does not reach $6.6M incremental run-rate. |

The engine runs the same structured method on any business, and what changes by industry is which numbers it asks for and which framework it routes to. For insurance brokers that means 19.0, 91.2, 664 rather than generic benchmarks. Every page in this section carries an excerpt from a completed run so you can judge the depth before spending anything.
Between seven and fifteen minutes for the run itself. You watch it being built, and you see the full output before there is any payment.
It states its assumptions where your data stops rather than refusing to proceed, and it marks which conclusions depend on them. That is more useful than waiting for a dataset you may never assemble.
