Insurers
Major Hong Kong insurers
Six public archives: timeline, market role, categories and channels. No “best insurer” scores—suitability still needs a licensed intermediary and formal documents.
No brochure scrapes or product photo galleries—typography headers plus official outbound links. Context photos are Unsplash-licensed only.
How to compare insurers (framework)
Align purpose and affordability first, then compare by category—not brand slogans or scores. Category pages link back to these six archives.
Matrix = insurer dimensions (channels / disclosures / interview questions). Compare = product categories—not a ranking.
