What the weekly comparison covers

We map when coverage is scheduled against when the building is empty, open to the street, receiving deliveries or using its parking areas. The report identifies uncovered hours and estimates the cost of coverage for those hours.

These are coverage costs based on provider rates and terms, rather than estimates of incident losses.

How it runs

  1. Pull the hours. We use the schedule as invoiced.
  2. Map the exposure. Review empty-building periods, public access, deliveries and parking lot use.
  3. Overlay them. Compare the coverage schedule with those exposure windows.
  4. Review the options. Compare moving existing hours with adding coverage, using the provider's rates and terms. You choose which changes to request.

What you receive

  • Current coverage mapped hour by hour across a full week.
  • An exposure overlay showing uncovered hours and estimated coverage costs.
  • Options for reallocating hours, with their cost assumptions.
  • An estimate of the cost of covering the full identified gap.
  • A schedule you can hand to your existing provider as a change request.

3P provides analysis and advice. Your provider supplies coverage and confirms the terms for schedule changes.
