Compare the work you need to complete
Decla publishes this comparison. Public sources were checked October 6, 2026; the pages do not state publication or update dates. The table compares provider descriptions, not results from an independently executed vendor trial.
Outmarket documents dedicated research, market-search, custom-workflow, proposal and integration modules. Decla describes commercial-insurance operations across existing tools and agency procedures. Choose the task you need, then ask both vendors to demonstrate its source handling, review boundary and final artifact.
This page is for a commercial agency operations leader or producer evaluating market discovery through a reviewed next action. Unknown means this evidence set does not establish the exact behavior; it does not mean the vendor lacks it.

Apply the same buyer criteria
| Criterion | Outmarket | Decla | Evidence to request from either vendor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Published offer | Provider descriptions include dedicated quote comparison, research, market search, custom workflows and proposals. [O1–O5] | Company positioning: commercial-insurance operational work across existing agency tools. [D2] | Identify which module or task configuration your agency would use. |
| Research and appetite discovery | Assistant describes cited answers, prospect research and custom forms; MarketSearch describes appetite search, an agency carrier library, confidence labels and contact context. [O2, O3] | Homepage describes gathering task context from agency systems; a specific appetite-search library or matching method is unknown in this evidence set. [D1] | Check the source guide/version, risk fields and unresolved conditions behind a candidate. |
| Comparison and proposal artifacts | Proposal Builder describes quote-PDF inputs, source-page citations, editing and agency branding. [O5] | Homepage lists quoting/comparison and proposals/summaries. Exact citation, editing and export behavior is unknown here. [D1] | Inspect the comparison and proposal, including missing terms and source references. |
| Agency workflow configuration | Custom-workflow page describes generating prompts, schemas and structured outputs, with admin review before team rollout. [O4] | Homepage describes importing and following agency standard operating procedures (SOPs). Exact configuration and rollout controls are unknown here. [D1] | Distinguish approval of a reusable workflow from approval of an individual action. |
| Connected-system work | Integration page advertises two-way Applied Epic and AMS360 operations and artifact attachment/activity/note writes. Exact permissions and failure behavior for your task are unknown here. [O6] | Homepage describes email, agency management system (AMS), carrier-portal and browser work. Exact interface, permitted writes and failure behavior for your task are unknown here. [D1] | Request an authorized operation and record readback. |
| Task approval and error boundaries | Admin review of custom-workflow rollout is described; the exact per-action approval, retry and missing-source behavior for this test is unknown here. [O4, O6] | Homepage uses both approval-before-action and approval-when-needed wording; a deployed default or configured policy is unknown here. [D1] | Use the same missing-condition test and inspect held actions, reviewer decisions and retries. |
Where to focus each discussion
If carrier-appetite organization, cited research or branded proposal editing is your immediate requirement, ask Outmarket to demonstrate the relevant named module with your permitted documents. Ask how its market-search sources connect to later quote and proposal work, rather than assuming a search result supplies an offer.
If your requirement centers on an agency SOP spanning email, the AMS and carrier portals, use that procedure in the Decla discussion. Require the exact interface, review rule and result for each proposed action. Public positioning alone does not decide fit for either vendor.
A demo test: appetite match with a missing condition
Illustrative example using synthetic data. These invented risk and appetite-guide records are an original test fixture, not carrier guidance, customer data, a vendor screen or an executed product result. Use the same authorized fixture with both vendors.
The requested output is a source-referenced candidate comparison and a draft clarification question. No quote or submission instruction is supplied. If a system displays a confidence label, retain it as search context rather than treating it as a quote or underwriting decision.
| Source / version | Fictional document content | Expected handling in the test |
|---|---|---|
| RF v1 — risk brief | October 5, 2026; p. 1: furniture manufacturing; whether spray finishing occurs is unanswered. | Input stays incomplete; do not infer an answer from the business description. |
| AG-A v2 — Candidate A guide | October 1, 2026; p. 2: furniture manufacturing listed; finishing details requested. AG-A v1 is superseded. | Candidate for clarification; preserve the unanswered finishing condition and selected version. |
| AG-B v1 — Candidate B guide | September 28, 2026; p. 1: furniture retail listed; manufacturing is not addressed in the supplied excerpt. | Applicability unknown; request clarification, not an automatic acceptance or rejection. |
| Quote documents | None supplied. | No premium, limit, deductible, quote validity or binding authority can be populated from these appetite guides. |
Request evidence at each boundary
These are evaluator-defined expectations, not claims about either product’s configured policy. Broker judgment, client selection and authorized binding remain separate from research and document preparation.
Inspect discovery sources
Producer / evaluator
Require each candidate to retain its guide version and page reference. Check that AG-A v1 is not substituted for v2 and that Candidate B’s unaddressed manufacturing question remains unknown.
Inspect the prepared artifact
Producer / reviewer
Expected artifact: candidate table with RF v1, AG-A v2 and AG-B v1 references; an open finishing question assigned to the producer; no invented price or coverage terms. If a proposal draft is requested later, it must preserve those gaps.
Test the proposed next action
Designated reviewer
Draft: “Please confirm whether spray finishing occurs and provide the missing details.” Under this test’s explicit review-required rule, withhold outbound communication or an AMS change until the reviewer decides. Record the held action, not a fabricated sent state.
Verify action or failure separately
System owner / evaluator
Only in an authorized demo environment, test the permitted next action after review and inspect its result and relevant record readback. Also test a missing-source or denied-permission case and a retry; record errors and whether any duplicate action occurred.

Compare demonstrated artifacts before deciding
Bring a safely redacted task brief, the source/version list and the permitted next action. Keep a decision sheet for each vendor: configuration used, missing fields retained, reviewer disposition, artifact produced, operation/readback evidence and unresolved support questions. Use that evidence to decide fit for your agency.
