Private client contents intelligence

Scan it. Value it. Protect it.

LAYBL gives private-client insurers, MGAs and brokers a clearer picture of what is inside the home before a loss, supporting better-informed cover, stronger client relationships and a more straightforward claims experience.

The hidden risk

You cannot properly protect what has never been documented.

Private-client contents values are often based on memory, broad estimates and information scattered across photographs, receipts and valuations.

For insurers and brokers, that can mean limited visibility before the risk is written. For the client, the true gap may only become clear after a loss.

The contents exposure

A high-value home is rarely a simple risk.

Private-client households contain a complex combination of accumulated contents, specialist assets and changing values. A single overall sum can hide important gaps, concentrations of value and items requiring separate attention.

The LAYBL record

A clearer picture before it matters most.

01

Scan

A fast, guided way to document household contents without handing the client an enormous administrative task.

02

Value

A clearer view of estimated replacement costs, specialist assets and areas requiring further review.

03

Protect

A structured, time-stamped record that remains useful through renewals, changes in value and future claims.

The whole contents exposure

The obvious valuables are only part of the picture.

Watches, wine, art and jewellery may require specialist attention. But furniture, clothing, technology and the accumulated contents of every room can represent just as much risk when they are overlooked or undervalued.

LAYBL creates a more complete, structured view of what is inside the home, giving private-client teams a stronger basis for understanding the exposure.

Built for ownership

A current understanding of the risk should not end at inception.

New possessions are acquired, values change and supporting evidence becomes outdated. LAYBL creates a living household record that supports more meaningful reviews, better-informed cover and stronger claims preparation.

Professional judgement

Better information for the professionals protecting the client.

LAYBL gives brokers, underwriters, surveyors, claims professionals or specialist valuers a clearer, better-organised record to work from and identifies where further professional input may be required.

All insights

Contents exposure

The obvious valuables are only part of the household risk

Watches, wine, jewellery and art attract specialist attention. The accumulated furniture, clothing, technology and everyday contents of every other room can represent an equally significant exposure.

About LAYBL

Built to make ownership visible.

LAYBL was founded by Jen Wagner after more than 20 years working across ecommerce, product data and digital customer experience, including with Dyson and Red Bull.

Businesses know what people buy, but very little remains connected once those products become owned. LAYBL exists to close that gap.

We are building the infrastructure to make ownership visible, beginning with high-value household contents and private-client insurance.

Common questions

What does LAYBL do?

LAYBL turns household photographs, receipts, valuations and identifying information into a structured, time-stamped record of what a client owns, created before a loss rather than after one.

Who is LAYBL designed for?

Private-client insurers, MGAs and brokers serving households whose contents, specialist assets or circumstances require a more considered approach than a single overall sum insured.

Does LAYBL provide professional valuations?

No. LAYBL can provide estimated replacement-cost information and identify items that warrant specialist attention, but it does not replace a qualified professional valuer and its estimates are not formal or certified valuations.

How does LAYBL support the insurance relationship?

The record gives a clearer basis for conversations at onboarding, renewal and claim, and allows changes in possessions, values and supporting evidence to be captured over time rather than reconstructed later.

Does LAYBL replace the broker or insurer's existing process?

No. LAYBL is designed to strengthen professional advice and decision-making by providing better-organised household information to the people already responsible for it.

Can the record change as the household changes?

Yes. The living record can be updated as new possessions are acquired, values change and supporting evidence is added, so it remains useful between renewals.

How is sensitive household information protected?

Household information is encrypted in transit and at rest, and held in access-controlled systems. Access is limited to named LAYBL personnel who need it to run the service, and a record is shared with an insurer, MGA or broker only where the client has agreed to it. Full security documentation is available on request for due-diligence reviews.
