Policy Lens

You run a safe, clean kitchen.
Your premium cant tell.

Policy Lens reads your daily operations inside EvidLY — food safety, fire safety — against what the policy itself requires and the protective safeguards it names, and raises an alert when something falls outside. A gap becomes a fix today, not a finding at renewal.

Policy Lens reads the policy and flags what to raise with your agent. It never evaluates coverage — thats your licensed professionals work.

The clause behind the coverage

The endorsement most kitchen leaders never read

A Protective Safeguards Endorsement is a condition of the policy, not a clause buried inside it. Standard forms name the safeguards individually — an automatic sprinkler system, a fire alarm, an automatic extinguishing system over the cooking surfaces, and in many cases a service contract with a licensed contractor.

It works like a promise. By accepting the endorsement you agree those systems stay in working order for the whole policy period. If a named safeguard lapses and a fire follows, the endorsement can give your carrier grounds to reduce or deny the claim — whether or not the lapse had anything to do with the fire.

What it asks of you is the signed service record for each named system, current through the period. Most kitchen leaders meet this endorsement for the first time in a denial letter. Policy Lens names which safeguards your policy lists, so you can read it before then.

What it does

Predict. Reduce. Prove.

01 · Predict

See whats coming.

Identifies when food safety, fire safety, or a lapsing certification falls outside what the policy requires or the safeguards it names — and raises the alert.

02 · Reduce

Shrink the cost.

A documented, in-guideline operation is a lower-risk one — a clean record that can work in your favor at renewal instead of sitting in a folder nobody opens.

03 · Prove

You have the answer.

Every record — food, fire, and personnel — in one portfolio your broker opens in seconds, not two days of digging.

What it reads

Everything your kitchen already produces, read against your policy

Fire safety

  • Fire suppression system service — the safeguard your policy may require, current and documented.
  • Hood and exhaust cleaning cadence — on schedule for your fire authority, not overdue.
  • Fire alarm, sprinkler, and extinguisher service — inspected, tagged, and in working order.

Food safety

  • Cooler and hot-hold temperatures — logged every shift, in range or flagged.
  • Opening, closing, and night-crew checklists — closed and timestamped.
  • Corrective actions — logged, assigned, and closed.

Lease and policy conditions

  • Additional insured and certificate requirements — named the way the lease asks for them.
  • Maintenance the lease covenants — hood cleaning cadence, grease trap service where the building has an interceptor.
  • Where the lease and the policy ask for different things — flagged, so one document doesnt quietly override the other.
How the lease and the policy overlap →

Food safety and fire safety travel in the same portfolio but are measured on their own authorities — your county health department for food, your local fire authority for fire — and are never blended into a single number. Two records, two authorities. Your county already evaluates you; we do not invent a second number.

Policy Lens works alongside your licensed insurance professional. Confirm every alert and policy interpretation with them against your actual policy before acting on it.
EvidLY is not an insurance company, insurance producer, broker, or Managing General Agent, and does not provide insurance, legal, or financial advice. Policy Lens output and alerts are informational only and must be reviewed with a licensed insurance professional; agents, brokers, and clients are responsible for confirming any alert or policy interpretation against the actual policy before acting on it. Alerts are based on guidelines provided by you or your insurer and do not guarantee insurance coverage, eligibility, premium reduction, or any underwriting outcome. A Protective Safeguards Endorsement, and the consequences of any lapse in a required safeguard, are defined solely by your policy and your insurer; Policy Lens does not guarantee that any claim will be paid or that coverage will remain in force. Review your policy and endorsements with your own broker. All underwriting and coverage decisions are made solely by your insurer. Meeting any guideline within EvidLY does not constitute compliance with, or a substitute for, the requirements of your county health department, local fire authority, or any other regulatory body. EvidLY does not generate an independent compliance score; your county evaluates your operation and EvidLY reflects that result. Policy Lens is in development and not yet active; features and availability are subject to change.
