AI tools that help insurance premium auditors verify payroll classifications, research industry wage data, look up business operations, and investigate audit disputes faster.
Works in Chat, Cowork and Code
Business operations verification
Verify what a business actually does before or after an audit to catch misclassified operations. Research websites, job postings, review sites, and news articles to understand the true scope of work — essential when an insured claims a lower-hazard classification than their operations warrant.
Scraped website and Google Business profile. Job postings on Indeed list "construction site cleanup" and "post-renovation debris removal." Yelp reviews mention "water damage restoration" and "fire cleanup" — both classified at significantly higher rates than janitorial. Recommend reclassification.
Wage and payroll benchmarking
Validate claimed payroll figures against BLS occupational wage data and state minimum wage rates. Flag payroll declarations that appear understated for the number of employees and hours claimed, or where wage rates are implausibly low for the reported job classifications.
BLS OES data: median hourly wage for plumbers in New Jersey is $41.20/hr (2023). The 10th percentile is $31.50/hr. A reported average of $28/hr for 12 plumbers is implausibly low — below the 10th percentile — and warrants payroll documentation request and possible reclassification.
Subcontractor and certificate verification
Research subcontractors listed on an audit to verify they hold valid workers compensation coverage. Look up company registrations, licensing records, and prior insurance information to avoid accepting uninsured subcontractors into the insured's payroll.
ABC Electrical Contractors LLC: registered in Georgia SOS database, active status. Licensed with Georgia State Electrical Board, license active through 2025. Workers comp policy listed: Hartford 2023-2024 — recommend requesting current certificate for the current policy period.
Industry classification research
Research correct NCCI class codes, ISO classifications, and NAICS codes for unusual or complex businesses. Understand the full scope of a business's operations before assigning classifications that determine the premium rate.
Solar panel installation on commercial roofs typically falls under NCCI code 5537 (air conditioning / heating installation) or 5551 (roofing) depending on the primary exposure. Some states have specific solar codes. The dual-trade nature means a split classification may apply — recommend state-specific NCCI guidance.
Audit dispute research
When insureds dispute audit findings, build a thorough evidence package. Research industry wage standards, comparable businesses, and regulatory records to support your classification and payroll determinations.
Found: NCCI classification appeals decisions distinguish "office cleaning" (code 9014) from "building cleaning" (code 9015) based on whether crews work exclusively in a single location or travel between client sites. Multiple NCCI ruling letters affirm that traveling cleaning crews should be coded 9015. This supports your reclassification.
Contractor license and registration lookup
Verify contractor licenses, business registrations, and state licensing board records to confirm an insured's eligibility to perform the work they claim. Unlicensed operations often indicate misclassified or undisclosed exposures.
Sunrise Plumbing & Mechanical LLC: Illinois SOS business registration active since 2018. Illinois Plumbing License: #058-165432 — active, no disciplinary actions. Master plumber licensee: Robert Alvarez. Business appears properly licensed for the operations claimed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of businesses can the company lookup tool find information on?
Company Lookup covers UK Companies House, US state business registrations, and EU company registries. It returns registration details, officers/directors, industry classifications, and status. For US companies, coverage varies by state since registration data is held at the state level.
Can I use the web scraper to research a company's actual operations?
Web Scraper can extract text, images, and structured data from company websites, Google Business profiles, and review sites. This is useful for documenting what services a company advertises, which can differ from what they reported on their policy application.
Where does wage benchmark data come from?
Wage data is sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey and FRED economic series, updated annually. World Economy provides national and state-level data by occupation. For metro-area data, specify the MSA in your query.
Can these tools help with general liability premium audits as well as workers comp?
Yes — the research tools work equally well for GL audits where you need to verify gross receipts, payroll, or square footage. Use company lookup and web scraper to validate the business's scale and operations, and deep research to find applicable classification rules.
How do I research state-specific workers comp classification rules?
Deep Research can compile state workers compensation classification rules, including monopolistic state fund requirements (Ohio, North Dakota, Wyoming, Washington) and states that deviate from NCCI. Always confirm with the specific state rating bureau for binding determinations.
