  "audience": "Licensed retail insurance professionals",
  "current_role_boundary": "Hedge is a wholesale brokerage, not the risk-bearing insurer. Public company descriptions do not establish underwriting or binding authority for a particular account.",
  "service_model": [
    "The same four-person team through intake, quote, bind, renewal, and service.",
    "No Hedge wholesale fee, no sub-brokering, and no layered commission stacks.",
    "National service for eligible difficult commercial accounts, subject to licensing, current market access, and account review.",
    "Retail-agent authorization before a submission is released to markets."
  ],
  "pricing_boundary": "No Hedge wholesale fee is not a promise of the lowest total cost. Premium, taxes, filing charges and other quoted costs depend on the placement.",
  "timing_boundary": "No guaranteed quote or universal turnaround. A first response, a quote, a binder, and an issued policy are different events.",
  "integrations": {
    "public_research": "Public class, coverage, form and submission-preparation resources require no Hedge account.",
    "broker_access": "An active Hedge brokerage account and Hedge OAuth are required for private broker records and actions.",
