When underwriters evaluate submissions, they often face the challenge of managing a vast amount of information. The selection of necessary versus desirable information is crucial in this process. Underwriters focus on necessary information that directly impacts the risk assessment and underwriting decision, as opposed to sifting through all available data, which may not significantly influence their conclusions or could potentially overwhelm them.

This prioritization allows them to streamline their workflow and make more effective assessments without becoming bogged down by less relevant details. It reflects a strategic approach where underwriters discern which pieces of information are essential for an informed decision while maintaining efficiency in their evaluations.

Other factors, such as time limits or access to data sources, may also influence the review process, but it's the inherent need to distinguish between what is necessary and what is merely desirable that primarily drives this behavior. By honing in on critical data, underwriters can allocate their resources more effectively and ensure more timely decision-making.
