Issuance gets the attention; the in-force years carry the risk. This playbook lays out the operating discipline that keeps policies coherent, current, and claim-ready for decades.
Every in-force policy accumulates drift — beneficiaries age out of intentions, addresses go stale, premiums shift, advisors move on. Governance is the set of operations that detects that drift and resolves it while resolution is still cheap.
Post-issue governance stands on four repeating disciplines — each producing evidence as it runs.
Watch the record, not the calendar. Premium changes, returned mail, ownership edits, and inactivity are signals that route to review.
Every policy gets a governed review cadence — verified designations, confirmed contacts, documented outcomes.
Beneficiary and ownership changes run through verification workflows — never through hallway conversations.
Every signal ends in a logged resolution owned by a named role. Unresolved items escalate; nothing ages out silently.
The platform is built to make the playbook the default path of daily work — not a binder on a shelf.
The routing model: governance events detected, explained, and routed to the accountable surface — advisor, admin, or household.
Reviews and callbacks live in worked queues with deadlines — visible to the roles responsible for them.
Because work happens on the canonical record, the audit trail writes itself — append-only and export-ready.
Bring a segment of your in-force book — the team will map the playbook's disciplines to your actual signals and gaps.
