That process is inconsistent, time-consuming, and leaves critical data on the table. In this episode, Tarek walks through how Classify and STAI Specialty are using AI to collect, organize, and score risk intelligence in under 10 seconds — pulling from crime data, liquor license databases, proximity analysis, website scanning, and more — and why the carriers who embrace these tools will have a measurable advantage over those who don't.
Tarek Timol spent over 25 years inside the commercial insurance industry — including managing underwriting P&Ls and watching good underwriters struggle not because they lacked judgment, but because they lacked data.

It is this vast experience that positions Tarek as a great resource for this episode.
