    {
      "q": "How does ReadMyPolicy work?",
      "a": "Paste or upload your policy. Our AI reads every clause, exclusion, and footnote, and returns a plain-English summary: what appears to be covered, what appears to be excluded, sub-limits and deductibles to be aware of, and questions to bring to your licensed agent. About 30 seconds. Informational only."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is my insurance data safe?",
      "a": "Your policy goes to our AI provider for the analysis and that's it — we don't store it, we don't sell it, we don't have a database of your stuff. Your summary is yours."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can I upload a PDF of my policy?",
      "a": "Yep. PDF, Word, plain text, even a photo of a paper policy if that's what you've got. Drag and drop or click. 10MB cap."
    },
    {
      "q": "How accurate is the summary?",
      "a": "AI can make mistakes — sometimes confidently. The summary may contain factual errors, miss context, or misinterpret the policy text you submitted. Treat the output as a starting point for a conversation with your licensed agent, not a definitive coverage opinion. For claim disputes or high-stakes decisions, your agent or a licensed attorney is the right call."
    },
    {
      "q": "What if the summary is wrong?",
      "a": "You are responsible for verifying every specific (deductible amounts, exclusion language, sub-limits, named clauses) against the source policy and with your licensed agent before acting. We're not liable for decisions you make based on inaccurate output. If the analysis itself won't run, our refund policy covers that."
    },
    {
      "q": "What types of insurance can it summarize?",
      "a": "Homeowners (HO-3, HO-5, HO-6), renters, auto, condo, landlord, umbrella, most personal lines. Works on business and health too — just slightly less detailed on those because the policies are weirder."
    },
    {
      "q": "How much does it cost?",
      "a": "$9.99. Once. Not a subscription, not a trial, not a mailing list. Pay, get the summary, close the tab."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is this insurance advice? Can it replace my agent?",
      "a": "No. ReadMyPolicy is an informational summary tool. We are not a licensed insurance producer, broker, or agent. Use the summary to know what questions to bring to your licensed agent — they're the right person for any actual coverage decision."
