An attestation is a credentialed actuary's signed statement that they have read the methodology document at the published version, applied their professional judgment, and find the document defensible. Attestations are version-pinned; a methodology version bump requires re-attestation. Compensation arrangements, where any exist, are disclosed publicly alongside each entry.
This entry is the demonstration signing actuary used on the published Sample Workforce Exposure Forecast (/sample-workforce-exposure-forecast.pdf). The signer name is illustrative; the methodology v1.0 to which the Sample is pinned is the same v1.0 document any live signing actuary would attest to. Live attestations appear immediately above this entry as they are submitted and verified.
Credentialed actuaries (ASA, FSA, MAAA, FCAS, ACAS) may submit an attestation by reading the published v1.1 document and contacting Metra at care@usemetra.com with subject line “Methodology Attestation — v1.1”. The submission carries name, credential, firm, credential number, optional firm letterhead document, and a statement of attestation. Compensation arrangements (where any exist) are disclosed publicly on this roster alongside the entry.
Critiques and counter-derivations on v1.1 are welcomed and inform v1.2. Subject line “Methodology Review — v1.1”.
v1.0 is published and version-pinned as history at /methodology/v1.0/. Credentialed actuaries (ASA, FSA, MAAA, FCAS, ACAS) may still submit a v1.0 attestation (for example, when specifically attesting the original four-coefficient register). Submit by reading v1.0 and contacting care@usemetra.com with subject line “Methodology Attestation — v1.0”. A v1.0 attestation is version-specific — it does not transfer to v1.1.
The Workforce Claims Forecast / Experience Calibration addendum is attested separately from v1.0. Credentialed actuaries (ASA, FSA, MAAA, FCAS, ACAS) may submit by reading v1.0 first, then the published v2.1 document, and contacting Metra at care@usemetra.com with subject line “Methodology Attestation — v2.1”. The submission carries name, credential, firm, credential number, optional firm letterhead document, and a statement of attestation. Compensation arrangements (where any exist) are disclosed publicly on this roster alongside the entry.
Critiques and counter-derivations on v2.1 are equally welcomed and inform the next version. Subject line “Methodology Review — v2.1”.
