Our Commitment to Trust

Imperfections make art unique, but when it comes to insurance, accuracy matters. That’s why ACT is committed to publishing content that’s accurate, unbiased, and transparent.

Each piece is researched, fact-checked, and reviewed by licensed professionals, so you can trust what you read about coverage options, exclusions, claims, and more.

When you’re growing and protecting what matters, we strive to be your trusted educational resource — not just a place to buy a policy. We succeed when you feel informed, prepared, and confident about your coverage and where it comes from.

How We Create Content

  • Licensed team members: Our content is written, edited, and reviewed by licensed insurance agents
  • Compliance reviews: Insurance-specific copy is fact-checked and reviewed for accuracy by licensed professionals before publishing
  • Clear, jargon-free language: We write to help you understand your coverage, using real-life examples and terms that make sense

Our Writers, Editors, & Reviewers

ACT’s editorial team members are subject matter experts in insurance and the needs of creative businesses. They’re trained in property and casualty insurance (including liability) to understand the risks that artists and makers face.

Our content moves through a layered review process that includes:

  • Editorial review for structure, clarity, and readability
  • Compliance review for accuracy and consistency


Any piece that touches on coverage explanations, eligibility, exclusions, endorsements, forms, or other insurance-specific information is escalated to compliance review before publication.

Our team participates in continued education so we can provide a stable resource in the ever-changing world of insurance. We stay current on industry and regulatory changes and work across teams to keep our content useful and relevant to your real experiences.

Editorial Standards

We follow a structured (but still creative) editorial process to produce useful, accurate content you know you can trust. Key principles include:

On the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

We understand that the use of AI has a unique and personal impact on artists and creative businesses. It is our duty to ensure that your creativity remains protected. In doing so, we must also recognize that these tools are evolving our ability to provide that protection on a new scale.

In ACT’s content, our limited use of AI tools supports early outlines and research efforts. Any content leveraging AI assistance is fully reviewed, edited, and independently verified by human editors and licensed professionals.

We do not use automated publishing tools, and we never put personally identifiable policyholder information into AI tools. Our commitment to transparency and responsible use of these developing systems is paramount.

Educational Purpose and Disclosures

We create educational content separate from sales goals. Our blogs, checklists, reports, and more are here to give you clear, useful information, so you can protect your creative business and make confident decisions on your own terms. This means:

  • No hidden ads: We typically do not publish outside sponsored posts, but we always make it clear when spotlighting ACT partners or policyholders
  • Conflicts of interest: Team members are expected to disclose any conflicts and step away from projects when appropriate

Use of Reliable Sources

We use a variety of sources to back our content, including:

  • Tier 1: Statutes and regulations, State Departments of Insurance, Carrier and Insurance Services Office (ISO) policy forms
  • Tier 2: Government and academic reports, industry organizations, professional associations
  • Tier 3: Trade publications, established news outlets (used for context only)


We do NOT rely on anonymous forums, claims without a source, or statistics that cannot be verified.

Updates and Corrections

  • Living content: We review and update content as needed to reflect changes in policies, regulations, and industry practices
  • Correction policy: If we find incomplete or inaccurate information, we fix it as soon as possible and note significant corrections
  • Timestamps: Blogs and key resources display a published or last updated date to show how current the information is

Accessibility and Reader Experience

  • Skimmable content: Your time is precious, and we prioritize it by using descriptive headings, bullets, tables, and TL; DRs when it’s most helpful
  • Plain language definitions: Insurance is our job, not yours, so we use glossaries and simple explanations to help you understand insurance terms
  • Customer support: If our copy doesn’t answer your questions, contact our team to speak with a licensed, non-commissioned agent who can help

What This Policy Covers

This Editorial Policy covers all editorial content created and published by ACT, including but not limited to:

Other documents, such as legal notices, privacy policies, terms of use, policy forms, and official applications or endorsements, are governed by their own terms and are not controlled by this Editorial Policy.
