Welcome to the Assesspro field notes

The insurance file tells a story. Our job is to read it well.

This is the first post in what we intend to be a steady stream of field notes — observations from real loss-adjusting, valuation and risk-survey work across the SADC region. Names and identifying details will be changed; the underlying lessons will not.

What you can expect

• Quarterly market themes — what we are seeing across motor, marine, property and engineering files.
• Technique notes — short pieces on evidence preservation, quantum methodology, and risk-survey practice.
• Regional observations — claims patterns that are particular to Zambia, South Africa, and the wider SADC region.

We will publish when there is something worth saying — not on a schedule. If something we write is useful to your underwriting, claims or broking practice, that is the only metric we are aiming for.

A note on tone

Our reports are written to be read by underwriters and judges alike — clear, structured, defensible. This blog will be written the same way: short, specific, and grounded in what we have actually seen. No abstractions where a case will do.

If you want to discuss anything we publish, reach out. Field instructions are accepted 24/7 across the region.
