Pricing capability, rated
Rate your pricing team the way you rate risk.
Every insurer prices exposure with discipline. Few insurers price the capability of the people setting the rates the same way. Price Writers gives pricing leaders a structured way to measure, develop and prove that capability — starting with a single assessment.

Schedule of Capability
Why this matters
Most pricing teams build capability without a structure to hold it.
Training alone rarely changes long-term capability. Without a shared structure for development, reinforcement and leadership alignment, organisations pay for the same lessons more than once — and capability stays uneven across the team.
How it works
Start with clarity. Build capability at scale.
Four stages, in order — each one builds on the last. Most teams enter at Stage One and move into Membership & Accreditation once the gaps are clear.
Stage I
Assessment
A fast, practical assessment of your pricing team’s technical, commercial and leadership capability — individually and as a team.
Stage II
Pro Membership & Accreditation
Ongoing technical and leadership development for every member of the team, working toward a formal, recognised accreditation.
Stage III
Schemes
Structured programmes built for a specific audience — such as our Graduate Scheme and Manager Scheme — combining face-to-face workshops with online training.
Stage IV
Consultancy
Bespoke consultancy for specific pricing, capability or leadership challenges that fall outside the standard programme.
Where to start
Two ways to work with us.
The Assessment tells you where your team stands. Membership is how you close the gaps it finds. You can start with either — most leaders start with the Assessment.

“We could see where every analyst stood within a week — that’s not something our internal reviews ever gave us.”
Head of Pricing, UK Motor Insurer
“The roadmap gave us a shared language for development. Reviews stopped being subjective.”
Pricing Director, Commercial Lines Insurer
“Membership filled the exact gaps the assessment flagged. Nothing generic about it.”

Questions
Before you book.
We already run internal training — why add this?
Most internal training teaches content. The Assessment measures whether that content has turned into capability, and where it hasn’t, tells you exactly why — so you stop paying for the same lesson twice.
How long does the Capability Assessment take?
Around two weeks from kick-off to a written Schedule of Capability and roadmap, depending on team size. The scoping call itself takes 20 minutes.
Is Pro Membership just a library of online courses?
No. It includes on-demand training, but also live monthly workshops, a working community of pricing peers, and progress tracked directly against your team’s own capability schedule — not a generic curriculum.
Do you work with MGAs, reinsurers and brokers, or only insurers?
All four. The Schedule of Capability is built around pricing skill itself — technical, commercial and leadership — which applies the same way regardless of where in the chain your team sits.
Can we start with Membership and skip the Assessment?
Yes, though most leaders find the Assessment pays for itself by making sure Membership time is spent on the team’s actual gaps, not a generic syllabus.
