Enforce the standard of care. Place what nobody can place.
Whether an AI's behavior will be “safe” is mathematically undecidable — Rice's theorem, not an opinion. Undecidable means unpriceable; unpriceable means no underwriter can touch it. The agent-year license is the unit that makes the risk decidable, priceable, and transferable. The exclusions took that book off your desks. The signal is what puts it back.
Why the broker, specifically
An open standard has no lock-in — which is exactly why it can become the standard. The friction was never the code; it was getting a Fortune 500 to adopt a standard of care before their own incident forces it. That is enforcement, and enforcement is a relationship business. The broker who walks a CRO to the receipt, who frames the uninsurable exposure in their own terms, who is there when the question of the open gap finally gets asked — that broker is holding the relationship when the standard lands. To be plain about what we do not offer: the license is sold for use at one price, re-registration is a flat administrative fee, and there is no resale spread to be had. The measurement can never be owned by the people selling the policy, and it is not a margin business for anyone. What it is worth to you is the placement it makes possible.
What “Authorized” means to procurement
Anyone can buy an agent-year direct from the source for a small deployment. But a Fortune 500 procurement team will not buy compliance infrastructure from an anonymous grey market. Authorized Broker status is the answer: a named, sanctioned enforcer they can put on a vendor form — they are buying through an authorized enforcer of the standard, not a random reseller.

The upside is the enterprise relationship. For the largest accounts — the Marshes, the reinsurers — this is the conversation to have directly. Email with the accounts you can enforce against.
