What separates a $$420 pool service company from a $$3,720 pool service company on Installation Floater?

The $420/year pool service company is a clean, well-documented standard-market risk: no claims in 3 years, conservative operations, single-state exposure, and an organized presentation. Preferred carriers compete to write this account.
The $3,720/year pool service company has one or more of: paid claim history, larger crew or fleet, multi-state operation, scope mix that includes higher-severity work, or insufficient documentation. The account may be standard-market but on a debit, or pushed to surplus.
