PROMPT: INSURANCE GLOSSARY GENERATOR TASK: For each term provided at the end of this prompt, generate 3 paragraphs to explain each term in professional, concise, clear, easy-to-understand American English. The 3 paragraphs should cover: what it is, how it works, and why it matters. LANGUAGE AND TONE GUIDELINES: - Write in a natural, authoritative voice — as if a knowledgeable colleague is explaining the concept to someone new to the industry. - Avoid robotic or formulaic transitions. Do not use repetitive paragraph openers like "This matters because…," "It works by…," or "[Term] is important because…" across entries. Vary how you introduce each idea so the text reads as polished prose, not a template filled in ten times. - Favor active voice and concrete language over abstract or bureaucratic phrasing. - Each entry should feel like it was written independently, not stamped from the same mold. INDUSTRY FRAMING RULE: - Every entry must be written from the perspective of the insurance and insurtech industry. Even when a term has broad applicability outside insurance (e.g., "Private equity," "Artificial intelligence," "Capital markets"), the explanation should focus on how the concept applies to, operates within, or impacts the insurance sector specifically. - The first paragraph ("what it is") should define the term with an insurance-specific framing from the outset — not as a generic definition with an insurance mention tacked on at the end. - Examples, use cases, and context referenced in all three paragraphs should be drawn from insurance operations, markets, regulation, or technology. - If a term is used differently or carries special significance in insurance compared to other industries, highlight that distinction briefly. GEOGRAPHIC SCOPE RULE: - For general insurance concepts that are not inherently tied to a single jurisdiction (e.g., reserves, loss ratio, reinsurance, accounting policy), write from a global perspective. Acknowledge that practices, terminology, and regulatory frameworks vary across major markets — including but not limited to the United States, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe (particularly Solvency II jurisdictions), and key Asian markets such as Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. - Do not default to U.S. or UK conventions as though they are universal. Where a concept operates differently across regions (e.g., reserving standards under US GAAP vs. IFRS 17, or regulatory capital requirements under the RBC framework vs. Solvency II vs. China's C-ROSS), briefly note these variations rather than describing only one regime. - When examples or context are needed, draw from a mix of geographies rather than clustering all references in a single market. - For concepts that are jurisdiction-specific by nature (e.g., Lloyd's syndicate, NAIC, surplus lines), it is appropriate to focus on the relevant geography — but still note any international relevance or equivalent structures in other markets where applicable. COMPANY AND ENTITY ENTRIES RULE: - When the term refers to a specific company, organization, or named entity (e.g., AXA, AIG, Lloyd's of London, Swiss Re), anchor the description in durable, structural information: founding history, major historical milestones, strategic identity, market role, core business model, and long-term industry significance. - Avoid including figures or metrics that change frequently and become obsolete quickly — such as current headcount, latest revenue or premium volume, current stock price, exact number of countries of operation, or recent quarterly results. Instead, use qualitative language that conveys scale and standing without pinning the text to a single reporting period (e.g., "one of the largest global reinsurers" rather than "generated $42.3 billion in gross written premiums in 2024"). - Focus on what makes the entity structurally important to the insurance industry: its role in shaping market practices, notable innovations, landmark transactions, regulatory milestones, or foundational contributions. - If the entity has undergone transformative events (mergers, bailouts, restructurings, scandals), describe these as historical facts with lasting impact rather than as current news. - The goal is an entry that remains accurate and informative for years, not one that requires updating every quarter. FORMATTING RULES: - Do NOT include a standalone title line before the paragraphs. Each entry begins directly with the first paragraph — there is no separate heading. - The first sentence of each entry must start with a relevant emoji, followed by a space, then the term itself in bold wikitext format (e.g., "📋 Cyber insurance is…"). Only the term is bolded, not the rest of the sentence. - The second and third paragraphs do not need to start with the term. They should open naturally and vary across entries. - Each paragraph must start with a relevant emoji, followed by a space, then the text. Use a different emoji for each paragraph within an entry. INTERNAL LINKING RULES: - Throughout the body text of each entry, wrap insurance-related terms in wikitext internal links using the format: [[Definition:Standardized term | Term as it appears in the article]]. - The display text (after the pipe) must match exactly how the term appears in the sentence, preserving its original casing, plural form, or abbreviation. - Do NOT link the subject term of the current entry to itself. - Link a given term only on its first meaningful appearance in the entry. - Apply links generously to any recognizable insurance or insurtech concept that could plausibly have its own glossary page. RELATED CONCEPTS SECTION: - At the end of each entry, include a "Related concepts" section listing exactly 6 related industry concepts, formatted as follows: '''Related concepts:''' {{Div col|colwidth=20em}} * [[Definition:Concept 1]] * [[Definition:Concept 2]] * [[Definition:Concept 3]] * [[Definition:Concept 4]] * [[Definition:Concept 5]] * [[Definition:Concept 6]] {{Div col end}} TERM STANDARDIZATION CRITERIA: Before generating content, standardize all terms using the rules below. However, if a term is already provided in standard "Definition:Term" format (e.g., "Definition:Coverholder"), treat it as pre-standardized — extract the term portion after "Definition:" and use it as-is without further modification. For all other terms, apply these rules: 1. Sentence case — capitalize only the first word and proper nouns. Examples: "Definition:Open-source", not "Definition:open source" or "Definition:Open Source". "Definition:Combined ratio", not "Definition:combined ratio" or "Definition:Combined Ratio". "Definition:Lloyd's of London", not "Definition:lloyd's of london" (Lloyd's is a proper noun). 2. Preserve hyphens — if the term is commonly hyphenated, keep the hyphen (e.g., "Open-source", "Run-off", "Co-insurance"). Do not split hyphenated terms into separate words. 3. Singular form — unless the term is inherently plural. 4. No leading articles — drop "A" or "The" from the start. 5. Abbreviations in parentheses — include directly in the title when the abbreviation is actively used by insurance professionals. 6. Spell out the full concept — avoid shorthand or informal variants for the main term itself. OUTPUT FORMAT: Return the output as a JSON array. Each entry is an object with two parameters: - "name": The article title in the format "Definition:Term" where Term is in sentence case. CRITICAL: The first letter after "Definition:" MUST be uppercase. Example: "Definition:Gradient boosting", NEVER "Definition:gradient boosting". Double-check every title before returning. - "content": The full article text including the 3 explanatory paragraphs, with internal links, followed by the Related concepts section.
