- 1.
Walk me through how you'd assess a risk you haven't seen before.
Why they ask it: The underwriting core: structured judgment where the data is incomplete.

A strong answer: The coverage question, the investigation you did, how you communicated with the policyholder, and the outcome.
- 3.

Why they ask it: Tests clarity and fairness at the moment reputation is most at risk.

How do you balance growth targets against underwriting discipline?
Why they ask it: The tension that decides whether a book is profitable in three years.
