These are invented demonstration amounts, not actual policy values. Non-guaranteed illustrations can change.

Built for clarity

Useful tools before big decisions.

Insurance contracts can last decades. The first step is understanding the numbers and their sources—not choosing the highest illustrated value.

Universal life scenario lab

Evidence-aware explanations

Understand the distinction between premiums, policy cash value, surrender value and illustrations. Know when an insurer or licensed advisor must confirm details.

Local-first workflow

Your document stays on your device.

01

Open your illustration

Preview a PDF locally in your browser. The optional Mac companion opens its own 127.0.0.1 website for selectable-text extraction and candidate lines, but does not authenticate numbers or resolve complex insurer table layouts.

02

Check extracted source and figures

Review page-referenced text candidates or enter a defined CSV. Always check original year, row, column and assumptions before using numbers.

03

Keep a transparent record

Export user-entered comparisons or Mac-local extracted text evidence. All numeric claims remain explicitly unverified.

Professional roadmap

Clear evidence, not black-box AI.

A Mac-only batch evidence preview now exists. Carrier-certified parsing, paid entitlements, checkout and insurer-backed reports remain gated pending evidence and approval.

Important limitations

The tool cannot tell you which policy to buy, whether to replace existing coverage, the tax impact of surrender, or whether an insurer will issue coverage. For personal decisions, consult an appropriately licensed professional.

Read the methodology and privacy approach before using a real illustration.
