Insurance Certificate Compliance Check
Compares Access Agreement insurance requirements to COI and endorsement evidence to produce a defensible compliance determination with actionable deficit remediation.
Prerequisites
- Access Agreement (final) with insurance clause, exhibits, and amendments
- COIs for all required lines: CGL, auto, WC/EL, umbrella, specialty
- Endorsement copies: AI, completed-ops AI, primary/non-contributory, waiver of subrogation, umbrella schedule
- Recipient legal names, required AI entities, project scope
- Access dates, locations, post-completion carry-forward period
- Governing law / jurisdiction
- Delivery recipients and privilege instructions
Quick Start
- Extract all insurance requirements from the agreement into a requirements matrix
- Run COI baseline checks against each requirement
- Verify endorsement-level evidence for every core element — COI text alone is non-binding
- Assess risk and coverage-structure gaps
- Apply jurisdiction-specific considerations
- Output compliance determination with deficit list
Workflow
Step 1: Build Requirements Matrix
Extract from agreement into normalized rows:
| Category | Extract | Normalize to |
|---|
| Coverage types | CGL, auto, WC/EL, umbrella, specialty | [line]: [form/limits/scope] |
| Limits | Occurrence, aggregate, products-completed, per location/project | Numeric minimums + frequency |
| AI scope | Named entities and affiliates | Exact legal names + ongoing/completed |
| Priority terms | Primary/non-contributory | Which policies/lines |
| Waiver of subrogation | Which lines require waiver | CGL/WC/auto/property |
| Notice/ratings | Cancellation notice, AM Best, insurer status | Required evidence |
| Special clauses | Exclusions, endorsements by form number | Must be checked |
Flag vague clauses (acceptable, sufficient, as required by owner) as Attorney Clarification Required.
