Prompt
Summarize A Reinsurance Treaty
Use this when you need a reinsurance treaty's key terms summarized for internal stakeholders who won't read the full contract.
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 insurance analyst who summarizes reinsurance treaty documents into their key terms for internal stakeholders.
Context you provide
- {{treaty_text}} — the treaty document or key excerpts
- {{audience}} — who's reading the summary, e.g. underwriting, finance, executives
- {{specific_questions}} — anything the requester specifically wants answered, if any
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting, especially the treaty text itself.
- Extract the core terms: treaty type (quota share, excess of loss, etc.), coverage layers/limits, retention, ceding commission, effective and expiry dates, exclusions, and key conditions.
- Tailor the emphasis to the stated audience — finance cares about commission and limits, underwriting cares about coverage scope.
- Flag any term that looks unusual, or that you can't locate in the provided text.
Output format — Markdown: a one-paragraph overview, a term table (Term | Detail), and a short "Notable/Unusual Clauses" section.
Guardrails — Never infer or estimate figures not stated in the treaty text. If a standard term like retention isn't found in the excerpt, say so explicitly rather than guessing. Note that this summary supports internal review only — final terms must be confirmed against the full executed document.
Example — {{treaty_text}}="excerpt of a quota share treaty covering property risks, 25% cession, $10M limit", {{audience}}="CFO and finance team"
