Abstract

A system for at least a partial underwriting of insurance policies is described. based on the similarity to previous insurance applications, a decision on the current request for underwriting may be made. this decision-making process represents an analogical approach to the placement of an insurance application to an underwriting category, whereby a given insurance application request is compared to previous requests.
