Editorial Guidelines

Our standard

Every article on Dareable is reviewed by a licensed insurance professional before it publishes. That means a Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) or a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) reads the article, checks the claims, and confirms the coverage details are accurate for the state or industry it covers.

This is not a marketing claim. It is a production requirement. An article does not publish until a reviewer has signed off. If a reviewer identifies an error or a missing nuance, the writer revises before it goes live.

Why this matters for insurance content

Insurance is one of the categories where generic content causes real financial harm. A small business owner who reads that general liability covers professional mistakes — because the writer did not know the distinction between GL and E&O — may skip a policy they actually need. A contractor in Texas who gets advice written for California workers comp rules is getting the wrong information.

Most insurance content on the web is written by journalists or generalist writers who do not hold licenses and are not accountable to state insurance regulators. Dareable is built around the opposite model: licensed professionals check the facts, and the content reflects how insurance actually works in specific states and industries, not how it works in the abstract.

What reviewers check

• Coverage definitions and exclusions — whether the article correctly describes what a policy covers and what it does not
• Dollar figures — premium ranges, coverage minimums, and cost benchmarks are verified against current carrier data
• State-specific rules — workers comp thresholds, licensing requirements, and mandatory coverage rules vary by state and are checked against current law
• Regulatory accuracy — references to state insurance commissioners, statutory requirements, and industry codes are confirmed
• Claims that could mislead — any statement that could lead a business owner to buy the wrong coverage or skip coverage they need

How we handle affiliate relationships

Dareable earns compensation when readers click links to insurance partners — carriers and brokers like Embroker, Next Insurance, Thimble, and Tivly. This is how the site is funded.

Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial decisions. Writers do not receive partner instructions before writing. Reviewers do not check for partner alignment — they check for accuracy. A carrier does not get favorable coverage because they pay us, and a carrier does not get unfavorable coverage because they do not.

Articles that include affiliate links carry a disclosure at the top. We do not hide compensation relationships or obscure them in footnotes.

Updates and corrections

Insurance rules change. Coverage minimums get updated. State legislatures pass new employer requirements. When this happens, we update the relevant articles and re-review with a licensed professional.

If you find an error in any article — a wrong figure, an outdated rule, or a coverage description that does not match how your state enforces it — contact us. We take corrections seriously and will review the article within five business days.

What this content is not

Dareable articles are educational guides, not legal or financial advice. They explain how coverage works in general and in specific states and industries. They do not substitute for a conversation with a licensed insurance agent who knows your specific business, risk exposure, and budget. Every article includes a disclaimer to this effect.
