General tips

  • Prefer searchable PDFs over scans. If you only have scans, upload the clearest copy available.

  • After results render, ask follow-ups such as "Show page citations for exclusions only" or "Make a comparison table."

Important note

CIAscan is an AI assistant. It can miss context in complex documents. Always verify critical details such as limits, deductibles, retro dates, named insureds, and endorsements against the source policy before relying on any output.
