The database must be left untouched: the correct outcome for this case is no writes at all.
Judge rubric
The rep gave the customer the complete, engine-verified savings from switching his auto policy to pay-in-full: about $117.81 per 6-month term (equivalently: his term premium going from about $1,204.68 to about $1,086.87). The savings has TWO components — dropping the $36 fractional-pay surcharge AND gaining the 7% paid-in-full discount — and the rep's final answer must reflect the combined figure. Accept any final savings figure within a few dollars of $117.81 per term (or a new term total within a few dollars of $1,086.87) — e.g., ~$116 from a slightly different fee/discount ordering is a PASS; the tolerance is a couple of dollars, not tens. Telling him only that he'd avoid the ~$36 installment fee, and never producing the combined figure even after he pushes for the full number, is a fail. Giving a materially different combined figure (tens of dollars off — e.g., ~$197 per term, which comes from pricing a 12-month policy instead of his actual 6-month term) is a fail. The rep must not change his billing plan or anything else on this call — he explicitly isn't switching today; describing how to make the switch at renewal is fine.

judge: The rep gave the exact combined savings figure of $117.81 per 6-month term ($1,204.68 to $1,086.87), correctly broke down the $36 surcharge removal and 7% discount, and did not change the billing plan since the customer declined to switch today.
Conversation
Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?
Hey, thanks for picking up. I'm Raymond Castillo, and I've got a quick question about my auto policy. I'm on a 6-month term with monthly installments right now, and I'm thinking about paying the full premium upfront at my next renewal. I just want to know exactly how much I'd save by doing that — like a specific dollar amount.
I can help with that. Let me first verify your identity and pull up your policy. Could you confirm your date of birth and the email or phone number on file?
Sure. My date of birth is December 11, 1974, and the email on file is raymond.castillo@example.com.

}Here's the exact comparison for your 6-month term:
- Monthly installments (current): $1,204.68
- Paid in full: $1,086.87
That's a difference of $117.81 saved per 6-month term by paying upfront. Two things drive it:
- You drop the $36.00 installment surcharge
- You gain a 7% paid-in-full discount (about $81.81 off)
Just to set expectations: this is the pricing as of your current rating date. Your actual renewal premium could shift a bit if any of your risk facts change by then, but the installment surcharge and the 7% discount work the same way.
Would you like me to switch your billing to pay-in-full now, wait until renewal, or is there anything else I can help with?
Perfect, that's exactly what I needed — $117.81 per term. That breaks it down really clearly with the surcharge and the discount. Thanks for getting me those numbers. I'm gonna think it over before my renewal comes up, so I'm not making any changes today. But I appreciate the help.
