Sources#
Source ids, titles, publishers, URLs, and retrieval markers are carried over verbatim
from _research/income-protection.md (the citation ground truth for [S#]/[R#]
tags; ids S1–S12 and R1–R10 are frozen and never renumbered). All sources in the
research file are cited in product-spec.md or technical-notes.md, so none are
dropped. No new sources were fetched at drafting; nothing is marked “added at
drafting”.
Access date for all citations: 2026-08-03. (The research file’s access-date field was
originally left unfilled and has since been corrected to 2026-08-03, consistent with the
shared UK regulatory library _research/regulatory-actuarial.md, compiled in the same
working session.)

Provenance note#
Extraction details live in _research/income-protection.md: that file records
which facts came from which source, including the unverified flags, the
fetched_ok = false entries (R9, R10), the mirror-hosting caveat for S4 and S9
(retrieved from intermediary mirrors at lifequote.co.uk because the insurer
originals are bot-blocked or superseded; document codes recorded for
re-verification), and the edition-mismatch caveats (LV= S3 vs S4; Cirencester S11
vs S12; The Exeter S7/S8 vs S9 — the newest contractual document is preferred where
numbers conflict). The cross-product bibliography
_research/regulatory-actuarial.md plays the same role for [REG-R#] tags.
Standardizations marked std in product-spec.md and technical-notes.md are
introduced at drafting and are not attributable to any source; the std morbidity
proxy tables in technical-notes.md are placeholders shaped like the CMI IP11
structure and are NOT CMI values (actual IP11 rates are restricted to CMI
Authorised Users).
