Feature Spotlight · Coverage Gap Detector

The coverage gap,
named before the call.

Stop asking “who are you with now?” Start telling them what’s missing.

Coverage Gap Detector reads each prospect’s industry, size, and risk profile, then names the single most likely missing or under-written coverage right inside your AI-generated cold opener. You walk in with a specific, useful insight. Not a generic pitch.

The problem

Every commercial business has gaps.
Most agents can’t see them until quote time.

Lead lists give you names and phone numbers. They don’t tell you what the prospect’s actually exposed to. So the call opens the only way it can — with a question. “When does your policy come up for renewal?” It’s the most common opener in commercial sales, and the problem is that it tells the prospect exactly nothing. They have an agent already. They’ll get to it. The call ends.

The gap conversation only happens later — after rapport, after a quote, after the prospect has mentally compared you to their existing carrier on price alone. By then, you’re selling against an incumbent on the wrong terms. The thing that would have actually mattered — the missing coverage that exposes the business — never comes up until it’s too late to lead with it.

Coverage Gap Detector flips the order. The gap is named before you dial, written into the AI cold opener for that specific business. You walk in with a useful, specific insight about their exposure — not a pitch. That’s a different conversation, and it earns the next 90 seconds.

How it works

Three steps. Every prospect.

Coverage Gap Detector runs automatically on every prospect Prospekteer surfaces. No buttons to click, no form to fill in. By the time the prospect lands in your queue, the gap is already named in the brief.

STEP 01
Profile the business

Reads each prospect’s industry classification, business size, ownership structure, and operational footprint. Different industries carry fundamentally different exposures — a 4-truck HVAC contractor and a 4-table dental practice need almost nothing in common from a coverage standpoint.

STEP 02
Layer the signals

Adds real-time indicators about the specific business — operational reality, exposure pattern, regulatory footprint, and recent activity. The same industry with the same headcount can carry very different coverage gaps depending on how the business actually runs.

STEP 03
Name the gap

Cross-references the prospect’s profile against the coverage typical for that industry, and surfaces the single most likely missing or under-written line by name — written directly into the AI cold opener so you lead with a specific insight, not a generic question.

Real examples

Six industries.
Six different gaps.

The point of naming the gap is that the gap is rarely the same twice. What an auto shop is missing is fundamentally different from what a dental practice is missing. Coverage Gap Detector picks the right one for the business in front of you.

Auto Repair Shop
Garage Keepers Liability
Holds customer vehicles overnight. General liability does not cover damage to a customer’s car while it’s in the shop’s care, custody, or control.
HVAC Contractor
Installation Floater + Tools & Equipment
Carries thousands of dollars of tools and customer-owned equipment between jobs. Standard commercial property won’t pay for theft from a service van or damage to materials in transit.
Restaurant
Food Spoilage Coverage
A 12-hour power outage on a Friday night can wipe out the walk-in. Most BOPs cover the building and the equipment, not the contents of the freezer.
Trucking Fleet
Motor Truck Cargo
Auto liability covers what the truck does to others. It does not cover the freight inside the trailer if the load is damaged, stolen, or destroyed in transit.
Long-Term Care Hospital
Cyber Liability
Stores patient PHI under HIPAA across hundreds of records. A ransomware event triggers regulatory notification, forensic review, and breach response — none of which is covered by a standard professional liability policy.
Small Manufacturer
Equipment Breakdown + Business Income
A single CNC machine going down can halt the production line for weeks. Property covers the physical loss, but most policies don’t replace the income lost while the machine is being repaired.
In your workflow

The gap shows up where you’ll actually use it.

You don’t open a separate tab, run a report, or think about the gap detector at all. The named gap is written directly into the AI cold opener for that prospect — first sentence, ready to use.

“Hi [name] — quick one. ABC Truck Repair stores customer rigs overnight, and a lot of shops your size are running on standard GL, which doesn’t cover damage to a customer’s vehicle while it’s in your bay. Worth 90 seconds to check whether your current policy has Garage Keepers built in?”

Scope

What Coverage Gap Detector isn’t.

We’re honest about what the tool does and doesn’t do, because agents who trust their tools sell more with them.

NOT THIS
Not a quote engine
Coverage Gap Detector identifies likely missing coverage. It does not price the policy, suggest a carrier, or generate a quote. The pricing conversation comes after.
NOT THIS
Not a comparative rater
You still bring your own carriers and your own market knowledge. The named gap helps you start the conversation; the binding decision is still yours and the prospect’s.
NOT THIS
Not coverage advice
The named gap is a high-confidence starting point for an underwriting conversation. Final coverage adequacy is determined between licensed agent, carrier, and insured.
NOT THIS
Not personal lines
Coverage Gap Detector is built exclusively for commercial lines. Personal lines and life products are out of scope. We focus on what independent commercial agents actually sell.
Frequently asked

Five questions agents ask first.

Q01
How does Coverage Gap Detector know what coverage a business already has?
It doesn’t. The detector identifies the gap that is most likely to be missing or under-written based on the business’s industry, size, and operational profile — patterns we see across thousands of similar accounts. The actual coverage check happens in your conversation with the prospect; the detector’s job is to make sure you walk in with the right question to ask.
Q02
How accurate is the named gap?
Accurate enough to be a high-quality conversation opener — not a binding underwriting tool. On common commercial verticals, the named gap is the relevant exposure for that business in the strong majority of cases. Some prospects will already carry the named coverage, and that is fine — the detector is the reason the conversation starts; the binding outcome is between you, the prospect, and the carrier.
Q03
Does it work for niche or specialty industries?
Strongest on common commercial classes — contractors, hospitality, professional services, light manufacturing, transportation, healthcare. Niche and specialty industries (aquaculture, tugboat operators, specialty wineries, etc.) get a best-effort signal with appropriate uncertainty marking. If the detector is not confident, it says so rather than inventing a gap.
Q04
Can I edit or override the named gap?
Yes. The AI cold opener — including the named gap — is fully editable before you call, send, or save. The detector’s output is a starting point, not a command. Many producers tweak the wording to match their voice or replace the named gap with one they know is more relevant for that account.
Q05
Is Coverage Gap Detector available on the Free tier?
Yes. Coverage Gap Detector runs on every prospect Prospekteer surfaces, including the 10 lifetime prospects on the Free tier. Paid tiers raise your monthly prospect quota; the gap-detection capability itself is the same on every tier.
