What is a risk-transfer diligence gap?

risk-transfer diligence gap is an unresolved question or missing piece of information that would likely need to be addressed before a competent insurance, reinsurance, public finance, legal, or risk-transfer actor could conduct a formal review. 

Risk-transfer diligence gaps may include missing exposure data, incomplete asset registers, unclear insured values, uncertain hazard data, weak loss-prevention evidence, incomplete maintenance records, unclear governance, missing legal structure, incomplete public authority boundaries, unclear claims history categories, missing cyber controls, uncertain parametric trigger data, unresolved basis-risk concerns, missing risk engineering review, unclear risk ownership, or inadequate data governance. 

A risk-transfer diligence gap note does not mean underwriting has occurred. It does not mean due diligence has been completed. It does not mean insurance is available. It does not mean risk transfer is approved. 

It means the record has identified questions that would need attention before formal review elsewhere. 

A safe label is: 

Risk-Transfer Diligence Gap Note: For readiness improvement only. Not insurance advice, underwriting, coverage, placement, capacity, or risk-transfer approval.
