What it is Derived, awaiting review

This meta-model describes how risks are shared: policies that promise to make losses good, premiums that fund the promise, pools and reinsurance that spread the exposure, and claims that call the promise in.

Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.

Why it exists Filled

Policies, pools, claims as value routing

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • It is its own model because the policy is a bilateral record with a lifecycle of its own, while pooling and claims settlement follow rules that no general agreement model captures.
