    Here is a number that does not get talked about enough: we have seen a some small carriers that have somewhere between $40,000 and $100,000 in completed work sitting as unpaid invoices at any given time.

That has been the playbook for a decade. It is increasingly not working - because the problem is not your specific loss history. It is the industry-wide loss environment that your insurance company is pricing you
