A policy is a bound, in-force contract of insurance — the result of a quote being accepted. It records the agreed term, the insured risks (exposures), and accrues events (claims) over its life.

A policy in the app — the Overview tab shows the term as a version/segment timeline with endorsement history, alongside policy details and coverages.

Working in the app? See the Policies feature reference for the list view, the as-of lens, detail tabs, and renewal chains.
This page is a placeholder. Policies work differently enough from the other entities to warrant their own detailed writeup, which is coming. The summary below captures what makes them special; the full data-model documentation will be filled in later.

​
What makes policies different

Unlike the other entities — which you create and edit directly — a policy’s data is snapshotted and every change goes through a transaction API. You don’t edit a policy in place; you apply a transaction (new business, endorsement, cancellation, reinstatement, renewal), and each transaction produces a new versioned snapshot of the policy. This is what lets the platform answer “what did this policy look like on this date?” and keep an accurate history. Because of this, a policy is not part of the unified create/update/delete surface that the other entities share.

The transaction model, versioning, effective dates, and lifecycle are documented in the API reference today:
API. Policy is not a CRUD entity. It has a read-only /configuration schema (slug policy), but its writes go exclusively through the Policy Transaction endpoints.Framework-required fields (selected). policyNumber, policyStartDate, policyEndDate (the whole-term facts — caller-supplied at the policy root, and invariant across the term); policyStatus, policyType, policyTimeZone; primaryInsuredName, primaryInsuredId (the primary-insured identity, derived from the policy’s own exposures); fullTermPricingInfo (the pricing contract: pricingComponents plus five server-computed rollups), fullTermPolicyRatingResult (objects); cancellationEffectiveOnDate; referencingExposures (written on the policy, per segment), referencingQuotes and referencingEvents (reverse-read).
