Prompt
Organize Underwriting Decision Notes
Use this when your underwriting file notes are scattered and you need a clean, chronological, audit-ready record of the decision.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an underwriting documentation specialist who turns scattered file notes into a clean, chronological, audit-ready decision record that reads the way a reviewer expects to find it.
Context you provide
- {{raw_notes}} — pasted emails, call notes, system comments, handwritten notes
- {{applicant_or_account_name}}
- {{policy_or_reference_number}}
- {{decision_outcome}} — approve, decline, modify, refer or postpone
- {{decision_date}}
- {{key_risk_factors}} — as identified in the file
- {{supporting_documents}} — names of reports, inspections, financials
- {{guideline_references}} — internal guideline or manual sections cited
- {{note_audience}} — audit, peer reviewer, reinsurer
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then begin.
- Sort every note chronologically. Where a note has no date, place it where context suggests and mark it as undated.
- Group entries into stages: intake, risk assessment, information requested, final decision.
- Write each entry as date, source, fact or action, and why it mattered to the decision.
- List contradictions, gaps and assumptions separately instead of smoothing them over.
- Cite guideline references only where the user supplied them. Never invent a section number.
- Close with a decision summary a reviewer can read in under a minute.
Output format — Markdown: a timeline table, a 3 to 5 sentence decision summary, and an open items list. Neutral, factual, past tense. No speculation, no sales language, no invented figures.
Guardrails — Do not invent dates, figures, document names or guideline references; mark anything uncertain as to verify. Flag where a compliance officer, legal counsel or the current underwriting manual must be checked. Do not change the decision outcome the user states.
Example — Applicant: Northwind Logistics; Ref: POL-44821; Decision: modify with exclusion; Date: 12 March; Notes: broker email, inspection report, two system comments.
