Risk improvement recommendations, tracked from report to evidence

21RISK tracks risk improvement recommendations on every site you insure, wherever they come from. Each one carries an owner, a due date, a cost and the evidence that it was done.

The problem

The engineering report lands, and then what?

Getting the recommendations is the easy part. Turning twenty of them, across forty sites, into work that actually happens is where the register breaks down.

The report is a PDF

The engineer writes twenty recommendations and sends a document. A document is not a worklist, and nobody can filter it.

No owner, no date, no cost

A recommendation without a name and a deadline attached is a suggestion. Suggestions survive several renewals.

You cannot show progress

The insurer asks what happened to last year’s recommendations, and the answer is a search through email and a best guess.

How it works

One follow-up register for every recommendation

Risk improvements live on the Insurance board — what was identified, who owns it, when it is due, what it costs and what evidence supports it.

  1. 01

    The report arrives

    From an engineering firm, your insurer or broker, an internal review, or the site team itself — registered against the site it belongs to.

  2. 02

    Recommendations become improvements

    Each one gets an owner, a due date, a cost estimate, and loss estimates before and after — so it can be prioritised rather than just listed.

  3. 03

    Track it to evidence

    Subtasks, files, comments and change history, so completion is something you can show an underwriter rather than assert.

Features

What you get with risk improvements

PROTECTED

The engineer’s words stay the engineer’s

Improvements created from an engineering report can protect the original name, description, loss estimates, external ID and site — so the recommendation an insurer made is still the recommendation on file.

COST & LOSS

Argue for the budget with numbers

Cost estimate alongside loss estimate before and after, so the case for a sprinkler upgrade is a figure rather than an opinion.

EVIDENCE

Completion you can show

Files, subtasks, comments and full change history — quotes, photos and sign-off attached to the improvement they belong to.

Reduce routine follow-up with workflow automations that keep statuses current and send reminders about overdue improvements.

Analytics

Show the backlog getting smaller

Open, overdue and unassigned improvements and their estimated cost, on one page. Time to close and the backlog over time come from the actual history of each improvement. Click any number to open the list behind it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are risk improvement recommendations?

They are the changes a risk engineer asks a site to make after a survey. A sprinkler upgrade is one, and better storage of combustibles is another. Insurers, brokers and your own reviews add more. At the next renewal, the underwriter asks what happened to each one.

How do we follow up on recommendations from engineering reports across many sites?

Every recommendation is filed on its site in one register on the Insurance board, with a responsible person and a due date. Saved views give each site manager their own list. Analytics show the open improvements by site, category and responsible person. Workflow automations can send reminders about overdue ones.

Can the recommendations come straight from the report PDF?

On the Enterprise plan, 21RISK reads the recommendations out of an uploaded engineering report and matches them against the improvements the site already has. You check the suggestions before anything is saved. On other plans you add the improvements from the report by hand, on the same site.

Where do risk improvements come from?

Internal reviews, insurance audits, engineering reports, risk engineers, brokers or local site teams. However a recommendation arrives, it ends up in the same follow-up register on the Insurance board.

What stops someone editing the engineer’s recommendation?

When an improvement originates from an engineering report, fields such as the name, description, loss estimates, external ID and site can be protected, so the original recommendation stays intact. Group owners can override that protection when they need to.

Can we work from a list of what is overdue or unassigned?

Yes. The risk improvements table supports saved views, so recurring worklists — overdue, unassigned, high loss estimate, or one site, category or responsible person — are one click rather than a filter you rebuild each time.

Can we show whether the backlog is shrinking?

Yes. Risk improvement analytics show what is open, overdue and unassigned today, the open estimated cost, the average and median time to close, and open improvements over time. The history comes from the changes made to each improvement, not from due dates.

What if one recommendation takes several steps?

An improvement can hold subtasks with their own owners, due dates and completion state — requesting quotes, approving budget, planning an outage window, installing, and collecting the evidence at the end.
