Reviewer notes
Fetched today and all six claims confirmed verbatim on the page, including the sub-details of the four evaluation areas. The page does not state numeric point weightings, so none are used. The page also does not connect PPC to any particular application form field, so this page never equates it with the ACORD 140 PROT CL field.
