- Definition
- Guidewire's FY2026 Form 10-K says it generally prices subscription services for core products on the amount of Direct Written Premium (DWP) managed on its platform, and term licence fees on the DWP that will be managed by the licensed software. The filing uses the term without defining it; the order form or agreement governs.
- Counting rules
- Subscription fees track DWP managed on the platform; term licence fees track DWP that will be managed by the licensed software. Variable instalments are subject to changes in a customer's DWP or Gross Written Premium. The filing publishes no counting method (period, lines of business, ceded or assumed premium, managing-general-agent premium); these are contract terms.
- Floors / minimums
- No minimum published in the filing. Guidewire's core products page positions InsuranceSuite for customers with DWP typically $300M and above (with some below $100M) and InsuranceNow typically $300M and below (with some above $1B).
