• {{specifics}}: Any specific details about the claim (e.g., incident date, type of damage).
• {{current_knowledge}}: What the claimant already knows about the process.
• {{questions}}: Any specific questions the claimant has.

Instructions

2. Provide a step-by-step explanation of the claims process, from initial notification to resolution.
3. Highlight required documents, forms, and any deadlines or time-sensitive steps.
4. Offer tips to avoid common mistakes and expedite the process.
5. Tailor the explanation to the claimant's level of knowledge and specific questions.

Output format A structured guide with numbered steps, clear headings, and bullet points for requirements. Use plain language and a helpful tone.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific policy terms or deadlines; advise checking the policy.
• Do not provide legal advice; suggest consulting a professional if needed.
• Stay on topic; redirect unrelated questions to appropriate resources.

Example Claim type: home insurance; specifics: water damage from burst pipe; current knowledge: none; questions: what documents do I need?
