Open Planning → Insurance to compare the household's current policies with Kerdora's coverage targets. The page separates the coverage areas into Income Protection, Property & Liability, and Other Coverage so an advisor can see what is adequately covered, what needs review, and what source data is missing.
Policy facts and planning conclusions serve different purposes. Use Profile → Insurance to maintain the household's policy records. Use Planning → Insurance to review coverage progress, modeled need, planning status, and surfaced insights. You can also select Add Policy inside an expanded Planning row; the new policy is saved to the same Profile policy records.
What appears on the Insurance page?
Kerdora creates these rows from the household's current people and property records:
Life for each adult;
Disability for each adult;
Homeowners for each property;
Liability for the household;
Long Term Care for the household;
Health for the household; and
Auto for the household.
Select a row to expand it. Use Expand All when reviewing the entire household. On the standalone page, Policy Summary opens the Insurance section of Financials.
The expanded row shows the current policies that contribute to that coverage area. Select Add Policy to create another policy, or select a policy row to edit its details. A Homeowners policy that is not linked to a current property is flagged so you can connect it to the correct property before relying on its result.
Which coverage areas have a calculated target?
Kerdora currently calculates coverage progress and a derived coverage status for:
Life;
Disability;
Homeowners; and
Liability.
Long Term Care, Health, and Auto are captured and reviewed on the page, but they do not use the same current-versus-target calculator. Set their coverage status deliberately after reviewing the policy facts and client situation.
How is the coverage status determined?
For a calculated row, Kerdora compares total current policy coverage with the modeled need:
Good — current coverage is at least the calculated need.
Needs Change — some coverage exists, but it is below the calculated need.
None — coverage is needed, but no current policy coverage is present.
Not Applicable — no coverage is needed and none exists.
Under Review — use this manual status while the conclusion or source data is still being verified.
The coverage field can remain Derived so it follows the calculation, or you can set a manual status. A manual status is an advisor conclusion; it does not change the current policy benefit or calculator inputs.
What does each calculator use?
Life
The Life calculator supports the current life-insurance methods and uses household data such as income, working years, debts, savings and investments, survivor income needs, years of support, burial expenses, and other method-specific assumptions. Current coverage comes from Life policies associated with that adult.
Open the row and inspect the method and every displayed input before using the target. A stay-at-home adult or a client with unusual support needs may require a different method or manual assumption.
Disability
The Disability calculator uses the adult's annual income and the selected percentage to cover. Current policy benefits are annualized before comparison. Confirm the benefit frequency on each policy so a monthly benefit is not treated as an annual amount.
Homeowners
The Homeowners calculator compares dwelling coverage with a target based on the linked property's value and target coverage percentage. Confirm that the policy is linked to the correct property and that the property value is current.
Liability
The Liability calculator uses household net worth as the target reference and compares it with current liability or umbrella coverage. Review the policy limit and the current Balance Sheet before relying on the gap.
How do I correct an unexpected gap?
Expand the affected row.
Review the policy count and open each current policy.
Confirm the insured person or linked property, benefit or limit, premium frequency, and relevant dates.
Review the calculator method and inputs.
Correct the source record in Profile or the expanded policy editor when the policy fact is wrong.
Change a calculated input only when the planning assumption should intentionally differ from the source-derived value.
Return the field to its derived mode when it should follow the source again.
If the target changes after another part of the plan is updated, that is expected. Derived income, assets, liabilities, property values, and household facts can flow into Insurance calculations.
How do Insurance insights become recommendations?
Insurance rules can surface planning insights beside an affected row and in the Insurance insights area. Review the underlying policy and calculation before converting a finding. Select the available action to add a Change, then rewrite it as a clear recommendation with the correct amount, owner, and timing.
Use a Change for the planning outcome, such as increasing an adult's term coverage. Use a Task for implementation work, such as requesting an illustration or submitting an application.
What should I verify before client delivery?
Before adding Insurance content to a Guide or using the Financials Policy Summary, confirm:
every policy belongs to the correct household and insured person;
Homeowners policies are linked to the correct property;
benefit and premium frequencies are correct;
calculator methods and inputs fit the client;
manual statuses and overrides are intentional;
surfaced insights were reviewed; and
adopted recommendations were written as Changes with useful Tasks.
The modeled need is a planning estimate. Use it to structure the advisor's review and client conversation, then apply professional judgment to the recommendation.
