An adjuster asks for a job update. Prepare the indexed facts and questions before the office replies. ## What you need before you start - Current job file - Claim-status file - Inspection photo index ## Write these rules down first - The job file controls current production status. - Use claim status as supplied without interpreting the policy. - Only indexed attachments belong in the draft. - Conflicting files stop for the production manager. ## What to tell the assistant ```text Read this job's current file, claim-status note, and inspection photo index. Prepare an adjuster update for the production manager. Include the claim number, documented inspection items, indexed attachments, next step, and open questions. Keep measurements as supplied. Do not interpret the policy or describe a condition absent from the files. If the job and claim-status notes disagree, name both files and the conflict. Do not send the update. Leave attachments, recipient, and final text for review. Use only these files. Mark missing facts. Do not guess. ``` ## Check before it goes out - Does the claim number match the claim-status file? - Are inspection items documented in the job file? - Does each attachment appear in the photo index? - Are measurements copied without alteration? - Are conflicts listed for the production manager? ## What it never does Write these limits into this job's instructions. Do not contact an adjuster or promise insurance payment. Do not change a claim or charge a deposit. Require staff approval before each message goes out. ## Next step for Prepare an adjuster update from the job file Next step: read the industry page for [roofing companies](/for/roofing-companies#2-prepare-an-adjuster-update-from-the-job-file).
