  • Which document should the reader open before using a calculator?
  • What should be escalated to a licensed professional, state department, Marketplace, Medicare, Medicaid, or carrier appeals channel?

User pain signals translated into knowledge needs

  • research: Parents ask whether auto limits are enough after adding a teen driver or buying a larger home.
  • research: Users do not know that umbrella policies often require specific auto or homeowners limits underneath.

State-sensitive fields

Store state, topic, source URL, reviewed date, effective date when available, and the section of the article or calculator that depends on local rules. This prevents a static article from making stale claims about rates, minimums, complaint deadlines, or special markets.
