Describe what the system can do today
A supplier says its agent “has human oversight.” A useful submission explains where approval occurs, what the agent can do before approval, which systems it can access, and how the organization verifies that boundary. Do not present a roadmap item as an implemented control.
The Insurance Information Institute’s professional-liability introduction supplies category background, not underwriting criteria for this workflow. The submission structure here is our practical proposal and does not promise that an insurer will require or accept it.
Tie assertions to evidence
| Submission statement | Evidence to attach or summarize |
|---|---|
| External actions require approval | A description and controlled demonstration of the approval boundary |
| Credentials are constrained | The relevant permission scope and its review owner |
| Failures can be escalated | A tested route, owner, and relevant operational limits |
| Changes are reviewed | A version history and the organization’s actual review process |
| Incidents are followed up | Factual records and completed corrective work where applicable |
Ask the recipient which records are appropriate and how to transmit them. Avoid adding unnecessary personal data or credentials to a submission.
Include the changes that matter
Moving from read access to write access, connecting another external system, or expanding the affected population can alter the described activity. Maintain a clear boundary between the current workflow and proposed versions. A model upgrade is one possible change, not the only one worth recording.
Treat unanswered questions as open
If incident data or third-party permissions are still being investigated, identify that uncertainty and who is resolving it. A polished narrative should not imply evidence the organization does not hold.
Carver can help identify potential regulatory questions associated with a description. It does not decide whether the submission satisfies an insurer’s requirements, establish coverage, or calculate a premium. Take the completed pack and unresolved items to the appropriate underwriting or insurance professional.
