In the DICE method, which item is not typically analyzed?

• A. Declarations
• B. Insuring agreement
• C. Exclusions
• D. Past loss experience

Answer: (D)

DICE focuses on the policy’s structure and scope of coverage—the parts of the contract that define who is insured, what is covered, and what is not. Declarations identify who or what is insured, the location, limits, and premium; the Insuring agreement spells out the insurer’s promise to pay for covered losses; Exclusions list the risks or situations that aren’t covered. These elements determine the actual coverage provided by the policy. Past loss experience, while important for underwriting decisions and rate-making, is external information used to assess risk and set premiums. It does not define the policy’s terms or coverage, so it’s not typically analyzed within the DICE framework.
