Interaction Log
+ Log interaction
- 2026-07-16— Zoom(w/ James Park)
Steering-committee pre-read review with James. Triage model hitting 84% precision on the holdout set — he wants the readout framed as underwriter hours returned, not model metrics. CFO will attend the readout. Next: send deck draft by Friday.
- 2026-07-15— Zoom(w/ Grace Kimura)
Weekly working session with Grace. Pilot cohort expanded to the inland-marine desk; two underwriters pushing back on the routing rules — she'll run a feedback session Thursday. > "If the seniors adopt it, everyone adopts it." Next: draft talking points for her feedback session.
- 2026-07-09— Email(w/ James Park)
James confirmed Phase 1 readout date and asked for a one-slide summary his CFO can reuse in the board pack. Agreed to include anonymized benchmarks. Next: benchmark slide into the deck.
- 2026-07-08— Zoom(w/ Grace Kimura)
Working session: cleaned up the exception queue taxonomy; agreed the pilot metric is submissions-per-underwriter-day, not raw model accuracy. Next: Grace ships the updated dashboard to the team.
- 2026-07-02— Call(w/ James Park)
Quick call on the underwriter attrition worry — competing MGA poached two seniors. James wants the transformation narrative to be explicitly pro-underwriter. Reframed pilot comms accordingly.
