InsurTech readiness checklist

Review the insurance-specific boundaries that a generic production checklist misses: brokers, carriers, policies, documents, money, and auditability.

Practical guidePracticalYours to use

The working guide

Follow the evidence across the whole system.

Insurance products fail at handoffs. The checklist follows each decision and document across carrier, broker, insured, billing, and servicing boundaries.

01

Identity and broker boundaries

Prove who may act for whom.

  • Agency, broker, carrier, and insured roles are distinct
  • Delegation and revocation are recorded
  • Cross-account access is negatively tested
02

Quote and policy state

Keep one explainable record.

  • Quote versions and rating inputs are retained
  • Bind, endorse, cancel, and renew transitions are explicit
  • Carrier responses can be reconciled after timeouts
03

Documents and evidence

Preserve what was shown and signed.

  • Generated forms are tied to source data and version
  • E-signature events are verified and recoverable
  • Retention and export rules are documented
04

Premium and commission flows

Make money movement auditable.

  • Amounts, fees, taxes, and commissions reconcile
  • Webhook retries cannot duplicate financial effects
  • Operator correction leaves an audit trail
05

Integrations and operations

Design for partial failure.

  • Carrier and agency-system contracts are monitored
  • Retries are bounded and idempotent
  • Manual queues expose ownership and aging

Evidence to keep

Leave a record another person can verify.
