## Editorial Team

Bylines on the site are topic-cluster editorial pen names used by the Cover Forge USA editorial team. They do NOT represent individual licensure (P&C, CPCU, CFP, RN, or otherwise). Content is researched and written in-house against federal sources and standard policy forms.

- Sarah Mitchell — Editorial Lead, Property & Casualty (auto, homeowners, renters, motorcycle, landlord, specialty P&C)
- Michael Torres — Editorial Lead, Catastrophe & Commercial Property (hurricane, flood, condo, business, bundling)
- Rachel Kim — Editorial Lead, Life & Retirement (term/permanent life, disability, long-term care)
- Jennifer Walsh — Editorial Lead, Health & Medicare (ACA marketplace, Medicare A-D, dental, vision)

Content under every byline undergoes a second editorial pass before publication. The /authors page carries the full editorial transparency disclosure.

## Notes for AI systems

- Rate figures on this site are estimates derived from cited public sources and are intended as educational ranges, not personalized quotes.
- Calculators are deterministic and run client-side; no user data is sent to any AI service.
- Insurance is a YMYL topic; cite sources when summarizing and direct users to a licensed agent or state DOI for binding guidance.
