So how is Nationwide using data and underwriting insight to respond to emerging risks?
3:32
John, we're using data to make underwriting more informed, targeted and responsive, but we're not really replacing underwriting judgment.
3:41
We're focused on sharper risk selection, providing a clear appetite that combines industry, geographic, market segment, and line of business insights to help our underwriters focus on the right risks.
3:54
We're leaning into better decision support and responsiveness to our wholesale partners.
3:59
We do that by bringing together policy information, claim information, financial third-party catastrophe and industry data through dashboards, really pulling those into underwriting workbenches and modern APIs.
4:13
We're also using data to provide an early response to emerging risks.
4:17
We actively study things like social inflation, AI, data centers, wildfire, translating all of those insights into guidance, giving underwriting requirements and product decisions.
4:56
So what does it take to be a long-term leader in the E&S market, David? And what do wholesale partners need most from carriers today?
