Why preparation matters
An appraisal award is binding on the amount of loss. Anything missing from your documentation when the panel decides may be gone for good. Preparing first means the panel sees the full scope.
What the score means
Each question is weighted by how much it typically affects an appraisal. A high score means you have the core pieces. A low score means appraisal now could lock in a low number. The to-do list shows what to work on first.
Alaska-specific items
Two questions reflect Alaska conditions: documenting snow and ice when weather was involved, and getting freight and travel quotes for remote properties. Both are commonly missing from carrier estimates.
