Not sure how to answer your question directly but perhaps you're missing a bigger point. The price and ease of use difference compared to legacy companies is huge.

Was not criticizing the company at all, just wondering why it calls itself P2P and whether my payback model would work.

Daniel from Lemonade here. Totally understand how P2P can be confusing as a term. What we mean by it is that we use each group's premiums to pay their claims, with leftover money going back to the group's common cause. To us P2P is a shorthand for: 'it's not our money'!

While I understand the sentiment it seems like a confusing message to put out there. With the "P2P" label when it's not a typical P2P model.
