ABOUT POLICY & PROOF
Insurance requirements are hard enough. The paperwork shouldn’t make them harder.
Policy & Proof turns insurance requirements, certificates, endorsements, and project-readiness paperwork into practical, plain-language guidance. It helps businesses understand what is being requested, what evidence may be needed, and what to do next.
Understand what’s required. Gather the right proof. Take the next step.
WHY POLICY & PROOF EXISTS
Built to make insurance requirements easier to act on.
A contract may ask for certain limits. A client may request a Certificate of Insurance. A project may require additional-insured status, a waiver, or supporting endorsements.
Those requests often arrive as separate documents, emails, forms, and deadlines. Policy & Proof organizes that information into a clearer sequence: understand the requirement, identify the evidence, and determine the next action.
REQUIREMENT
What are they actually asking you for?
PROOF
What document actually shows it?
ACTION
What do you need to check, request, or send next?
IN PRACTICE
The certificate alone may not establish additional-insured status.
CLEAR BOUNDARIES
We explain the paperwork. We don’t make coverage or legal decisions.
What Policy & Proof does
Explain common insurance documents and requirements in plain language.
Help readers distinguish a request from the evidence used to respond to it.
Highlight common paperwork gaps, mismatches, and questions worth raising.
Provide practical checklists and guides for preparing for project requirements.
The underlying insurance policy and endorsements control coverage. Contract interpretation and coverage decisions may require advice from the appropriate licensed or legal professional.
HOW WE APPROACH THE CONTENT
Start with the document. Separate evidence from coverage.
Policy & Proof content is designed around the questions that arise when real insurance requirements meet real paperwork.
Start with the request
Start with the contract language, certificate request, project requirement, or other document creating the obligation.
Identify what the evidence can prove
A certificate, endorsement, policy provision, and supporting document do not necessarily prove the same thing. Our guides make the differences clear.
Make the next question clearer
The goal is not to make coverage decisions for the reader. It is to clarify what is known, what is missing, and what to confirm with an insurance or legal professional.
Published guides may include source references, methodology notes, and review dates where appropriate.
Use the resource that matches the paperwork you’re dealing with.
