Can the integration preserve the file when transfers fail or versions collide?

Answer framing: Test the full assignment-to-return workflow, including failures. A compatible export format is only one part of acceptance.

Why it matters to buyers: Verisk documents XactAnalysis capabilities for assignments, status updates, notes, photographs, documents and webhooks. Its field-inspection integration guidance also states that available APIs and workflows depend on the customer’s agreement and entitlements. Public capability does not establish a particular supplier’s implemented access. (developerportal.verisk.com)

Put this to: Brunko, Gray and the carrier enterprise architect.

A good answer should walk through this proposed integration acceptance test:

1. Create an assignment and verify identifiers across systems.
2. Transfer evidence, then amend one source document.
3. Return the estimate and supporting package without losing source associations.
4. Interrupt a transfer and retry it; check for duplicate records or attachments.
5. Submit an older estimate after a newer revision; verify conflict handling.
6. Change an assignment or permissions; check routing and access.
7. Export the complete record and reopen it outside the supplier interface.

Ask for responsibility when failures occur: supplier support, platform vendor, carrier IT or a subcontractor. Price monitoring, incident handling and reconciliation work—not just initial connectivity.

Sharp follow-up: “Which step in the demonstration still requires someone to download, rename, email or re-key information?”

Artifact to request: a tested data-flow diagram, entitlement confirmation, failure logs and a responsibility matrix for incidents.
