Owner-operator of a single mainstreet retail unit — stock + fitout + glass + 12-18mo BI.
You run a single retail shop (clothing / homewares / hospitality / specialty), lease the premises, and need cover on your stock + fitout + glass. Building structure is the landlord's. Theft + glass cover sublimits matter; BI indemnity period of 12-18 months handles most reinstatement scenarios.

What matters in the wording
For this scenario, the fact keys to compare across the ingested wordings are:
sum_insured_basis — Sum insured basis
sublimits — Sublimits
theft_cover — Theft cover
indemnity_period — BI indemnity period
Watch out for
Confirm glass + signage cover are included or sublimited adequately — high-street shops have frequent window damage.
Theft sublimit cap matters most for high-value-stock retailers — electronics, jewellery need top-tier or separate Crime cover.
Don't under-declare stock — average clause penalises reinstatement if declared value < actual at date-of-loss.
