AI for physical operations

Engineering & design AI

Companies building AI that reviews engineering drawings against ASME and ISO standards, GD&T analysis tools, CAD physics foundation models, and generative residential architecture software with CAD export.

Why it needs cover

The exposure

An error in a drawing review or a physics model doesn't surface at delivery. It surfaces as a completed-operations claim years later, once the part or building is fabricated and loaded and the defect finally shows itself, even though the exposure started as a software error.

What we place

Coverages this class usually needs

Tech E&O / professional (with AI grant)Required (contract)

Errors in the drawing review, GD&T analysis, or generative design outputCore exposure for a software product whose output becomes physical

Products & completed operationsOften (contract)

Claims from a physical part or structure that fails, traced back to the review or design toolThe exposure lands physically years after the software made its call

General liabilityOften (contract)

Third-party injury/property damage at the officeStandard office-premises exposure

ExcessOften (contract)

Limits above the primary professional liabilityEnterprise engineering customers specify higher limits than the primary carries

What it costs

National benchmark premiums

Rated on: ARR and number of drawings or designs reviewed

Full program

Quoted per program; driven by deployed fleet size, contracts, and limits.

Pricing figures are Risklytics program design targets, not published cost-guide data or quotes. Only construction & field robotics and warehouse & logistics robotics carry dollar figures, because Risklytics has built and priced real programs against them; every other class uses a qualitative pricing statement until a program is priced. Your premium depends on fleet size, contract structure, limits, deductible, and loss history.

When it goes E&S

Where this risk gets hard to place

The base professional-liability program can stay admitted like other software E&O. The completed-operations tail, where a software review error becomes a physical failure years later, is what pushes the AI layer to E&S.
