9GG Editorial Team
Last updated: April 2026
Insurance Compare publishes research-driven insurance content under the 9GG Editorial Team byline. Every article is drafted, edited, and reviewed following the standards on this page so our readers know exactly what they're reading and how much weight to give it.
How we research
Our editorial process uses AI-assisted research tools (large language models) to synthesize information from authoritative sources, then we fact-check the output against primary references before publishing.
Primary sources we cite:
- State insurance commissions — for coverage requirements, minimum limits, and filings data
- NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) — for complaint index ratios and market-share data
- AM Best — for carrier financial-strength ratings
- J.D. Power — for customer-satisfaction survey results
- Carrier SEC filings and annual reports — for loss ratios, premium volume, and policyholder counts
How we use AI
We use AI tools (primarily Anthropic's Claude models) to accelerate research synthesis and to draft initial article text. AI is a productivity tool for our team — not a substitute for editorial judgment. Specifically:
- AI drafts are reviewed for factual claims and verified against the primary sources above before publication.
- Article recommendations (which carriers to highlight in "best of" lists) are filtered to carriers that actually appear in our comparison database.
- AI is NOT used to manufacture fake reviews, testimonials, or case studies.
- AI is NOT used to produce content presented as being authored by a licensed insurance agent or broker. 9GG LLC is not a licensed insurance agency; we are an educational publisher.
Our goal is to produce articles that are more useful than the average search result, not to flood the web with thin affiliate content. We remove duplicate-topic posts and cull articles that don't add specific, verifiable information.
What we are, and what we aren't
9GG LLC (operator of insurance-compare.9gg.app) is an educational information publisher. We're not:
- A licensed insurance agent, broker, or producer in any state.
- A lead-generation broker that sells your contact information to multiple carriers.
- A quote engine with live carrier-rate APIs. Each carrier does its own underwriting on its own portal; we curate shortlists.
For legally-binding quotes, consult directly with each carrier or a licensed agent in your state. See our full disclaimer for details.
Affiliate disclosure
9GG LLC may earn commissions when readers click affiliate links to carrier websites and complete a transaction. This compensation does not influence which carriers we include in our database or our editorial recommendations. If an article ranks Carrier A above Carrier B, that reflects our editorial judgment — not which one pays us more. See our About page for the founder's background.
Corrections
If you spot a factual error in an article, please email corrections@insurance-compare.9gg.app with the URL and the issue. We review every correction report and publish updates visibly on the article.
