A curated index of Global Guarantors’ dated News chips and companion Education primers — regulatory watches, case/claims teaching, market/carrier moves, and Canada payment / holdback guides. Find what we already published by theme. Not a research-institute vault, not association white papers, and not a substitute for primary statutes or the live solicitation.
Education only / verify at source / not legal or placement advice. Confirm live statutes, agency filings, dockets, and forms before you act. Nothing here is a GG credit policy, capacity quote, or claim playbook.
Is: a map of GG-owned News posts and Education primers — case notes, regulatory watches, trade updates, market closes, and Canada payment / holdback orientation. Each chip points to a Live GG URL with a date and a one-line teaching purpose.
Is not: SAC research papers, SCCAN / BondConnect member reports, CPD catalogues, or a fake white-paper aggregator. GG is an education-first US/Canada surety hub (wordings, underwriters, primers). We curate our own dated notes; we do not republish association vaults.
New to three-party bonds? Start at Surety 101 and the Glossary.
Skim by theme, not chronology alone:
| Theme filter | Use when you need… | Typical GG surfaces |
|---|---|---|
| Regulatory | Statute / agency / obligee practice that changes when or how much | News regulatory · GR watch · IIJA |
| Case / claims teaching | Public dispute teaching product boundaries (license vs contract analogies) | News case · claims basics · FAQ |
| Market / carrier moves | Dated closes affecting who writes a line — no invented ratings | News market · Desk pack · Underwriters |
| Canada payment / holdback | Prompt-payment clocks and holdback / annual-release beside surety | Ontario & BC prompt payment · Ontario holdback · Guides |
Desk path: pick a theme → open the chip → read Pending flags and Sources → verify the primary statute, agency PDF, or docket linked there → for a solicitation, use Guides & tools and /wordings/.
New chips land on the News hub first. This index groups the same material for discovery — not a parallel research calendar.
