Editorial standards

How we source, check and correct what we teach.

A course that tells you a number is a course you might act on. These are the rules every lesson, study sheet and guide is held to before it reaches you.

What gets a citation

Any lesson that states a number you could act on (days, dollars, ages, percentages), a legal duty or prohibition, anything that varies by state, a statistic, or a tax rule names its source beside the claim. Explanations of how a product works, industry vocabulary and field judgment read clean, without footnotes. Every lesson keeps an internal source record either way, so when a law changes we know exactly which lessons to pull.

Where content comes from

SourceHow we use it
Original analysis and field experienceUsed freely, and labeled as experience where it is.
Statutes, regulations and official sourcesState insurance codes and administrative rules, the Internal Revenue Code and IRS, the Social Security Administration, FINRA and the SEC, FinCEN, NAIC model laws, state insurance departments and the official exam content outlines. Written in our own words, cited to the exact section.
Product materialsBackground reading only, to get mechanics right. Never quoted and never named.
Commercial exam prep and recruiter materialNot used as a source for anything we teach.

The second pass

Every module that makes legal, tax or numerical claims goes through an independent check before it ships. The checker did not write the module and works from a numbered list of its claims, reading each official source directly and trying to prove the claim wrong. Errors are corrected and logged before the module is filed. Where a source cannot be read, the lesson says so rather than guessing.

House rules

  • No carrier is named in a lesson. Scripts use a placeholder where a carrier name would go.
  • No income figure, commission rate or activity quota appears anywhere.
  • No statistic without an official or research source behind it.
  • Where the law is ambiguous, we say so instead of picking a side and presenting it as settled.

Reviews and corrections

The curriculum is reviewed every quarter against regulatory changes and market drift, and figures that change every January, such as Social Security and IRS limits, are refreshed when the new figures are published. If you find an error, email hello@insureramp.com with the page and the source. We fix confirmed errors and note the change.

Not legal, tax or financial advice

Everything here is education. Insurance law varies by state and changes over time, and a decision about your own situation belongs with a licensed professional in your state.
