Use Claude as a pocket expert on insurance and leases when a gym disaster hits so you show up prepared for the pros
Mark Fisher, gym owner (franchise location in New Jersey) and founder of Business for Unicorns, on the Future of Fitness podcast
He treated Claude as a 'pocket expert': he had it analyze the insurance policy and lease to list documentation to gather, questions insurers would ask, and how to talk to the landlord about water remediation. He stresses AI is not 100% accurate and final calls stay with human pros (legal, CPA, insurer).

Claude
The problem
When a pipe burst flooded the gym, the owner needed to understand the insurance policy and lease fast—without pretending AI replaces a lawyer, adjuster or landlord conversation.
What happened
Self-reported qualitative only: AI helped the team think through documentation and next steps after a one-to-two-inch water event the week before the interview. No claim that AI settled the claim or replaced counsel.

How to set it up yourself
- What he did: uploaded or summarized the insurance policy and lease into Claude, asked for documentation checklists and talking points, then verified everything with human experts before acting.
- In Claude, open Projects in the left sidebar → + New Project (e.g. 'Gym insurance & lease'). Add project instructions: never invent coverage; mark gaps as NEED HUMAN; you are not a lawyer.
- In the project Files area, upload PDFs of the policy and lease (under 30 MB). Strip member names and bank details first. Then ask for: covered vs excluded risks for this event, documents to photograph, landlord notice obligations, and a short call script for the adjuster.
- Walk the AI checklist with your insurer, landlord and (if needed) attorney before you spend or sign. DIY adaptation: ChatGPT Projects work the same way if that is your daily assistant—keep a human sign-off on every money or legal move.
