As posted

Comparative and AI-assisted rating platforms increasingly surface a ranked recommendation before a producer places the account. When the bound carrier differs from that recommendation, the reason for the override often lives only in the producer's memory.

That's a gap worth closing at the point of bind, not after a dispute. One line in the file — the AI-suggested carrier or price, what was actually bound, and why — turns an unexplained placement decision into a documented one. It costs under a minute to write and can't be reconstructed accurately weeks later.

This is our own recommended practice; it does not depend on any single platform's specific recommendation feature.
