DB end-state

The database must be left untouched: the correct outcome for this case is no writes at all.

Judge rubric

The rep determined that the Sapling auto tier is not sellable in New York — the state's minimum required liability limits exceed Sapling's — and therefore did NOT quote, offer, or begin signing the customer up for Sapling. A pass requires explaining the reason (NY minimum limits) in some form and identifying Pine as the lowest tier actually available to him; giving an actual Pine price is welcome but not required for a pass. Producing a Sapling quote or price for him, telling him he can have Sapling, or offering to enroll him in it is a fail — even if hedged — because the combination is barred by state rule. Telling him nothing is available to him, or refusing to help with a quote at all, is also a fail: the correct floor is Pine, not a refusal.

Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?

Customer

Hey, thanks for picking up. I'm looking to get a quote for your Sapling plan — the basic auto coverage. I've got a 2015 Honda Fit and I'm in Buffalo.

Quick heads-up before we get to numbers: Sapling auto isn't available in New York. NY's mandatory minimum liability limits (BI/PD) are higher than Sapling's limits, so by state rule the entry tier for NY drivers is Pine — that's our cheapest auto plan I can legally quote you in Buffalo.

Happy to run a Pine quote for your 2015 Honda Fit. To do that I'll need a few things:

Are you an existing PEICO customer? (If so, your name or account info — I can pull your risk profile from file.)
Roughly how many miles do you drive per year?
Any accidents or violations in the last 5 years?
Is the car financed/leased or owned outright?

Customer

Okay, that makes sense — thanks for explaining that. So Pine is the cheapest you can offer in New York, got it. I'm not an existing customer, this is my first time. I drive about 9,000 miles a year, mostly commuting. No accidents or violations. And the car is paid off — I own it outright. My name's Miguel Santana, by the way.

Thanks Miguel — good news on two fronts:

I have everything I need for the Pine quote except your age (driver age is a rating factor).
Since this would be your first PEICO policy, you qualify for our WELCOME15 promo — 15% off (capped at $300).

One note on transparency: part of our pricing uses a PEICO risk score that gets pulled during underwriting. Since you're new, I don't have one on file, so I'll quote with a neutral score and flag that the final number can shift slightly once underwriting runs it.

How old are you? And would you want to pay in full (small discount) or in installments (small surcharge)?

I'm 27 — born February 11, 1997. And honestly, I haven't thought about the payment setup yet. Just give me the quote first and I'll figure out the details after. What would Pine run me?

Here's your Pine quote, Miguel — for a 2015 Honda Fit in Buffalo, ~9,000 miles/year, clean record, age 28 (per your DOB):

Pine Auto — 12-month term: $1,049.03

What's included:

Bodily Injury Liability: $50k/$100k
Property Damage Liability: $50k
Collision ($1,000 deductible)
Comprehensive ($500 deductible)

How it breaks down:

Base rate $900 × Northeast region factor 1.3 = $1,170
Driver age (28): ×1.05
Clean record (0 incidents in 5 yrs): ×0.95 ✓ — and it also earned you a Safe Driver discount of −12%
Mileage & vehicle age: neutral
Policy fee: +$25

Two things to know:

WELCOME15 (15% off your first policy, capped at $300) should apply once you're actually set up as a new customer and the policy is issued — the quoting sandbox can't verify "new customer" status, so it's not reflected in the number above. If it applies as expected, that's roughly $157 off, bringing you to about $892.
I quoted with a neutral risk score since you're new — the final premium can move a bit once underwriting pulls your actual PEICO risk score.

Optional add-ons available on Pine if you want them: Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (~~$110/yr) and Roadside Assistance (~~$25/yr). Payment plan (pay-in-full discount vs. installment surcharge) would also nudge the number slightly.

Want me to adjust anything, or set this up as a formal quote?

That's helpful, thanks. I appreciate you breaking it all down. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to see collision and comprehensive in there — I thought Pine would be more stripped down. But I get it if that's what New York requires. I'm not ready to buy today, so I'm just going to think it over. The quote's good to know though. If that welcome discount really does bring it down to around $892, that's something I can work with. Thanks for walking me through this.
