Review checklist
- 1
Identify the reader's decision
The page should answer a recognizable question such as preparing a quote, matching coverage, checking a company or understanding a renewal.
- 2
Separate facts from examples
State rules and company terms need verification. Worksheets, scenarios and calculations are labeled so they are not mistaken for personal prices or advice.
- 3
Check the next step
A useful page should point to the document, regulator, tool or question that helps the reader continue safely.
- 4
Record material changes
Substantive updates receive a current review date and remain subject to the correction process.
