Limitations and assumptions

The relevant contract, jurisdiction and dated evidence determine applicability. A reference or calculation does not establish coverage, legal compliance, claim eligibility or suitability. Even follow-form policies have distinct exclusions/conditions; underlying payment does not automatically bind the excess carrier.

Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
