  Modeled by API Evangelist from ACORD's public description of the Next-Generation Digital
  Standards. ACORD publishes NO OpenAPI. Verified 2026-08-30: /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml
  and /swagger.json return 404 on www.acord.org, ngdsobjectmodel.acord.org and
  www.acordsolutions.com, and 403 on standards.acord.org; every NGDS artifact is a
  /file-download/<uuid> link that 302s to Microsoft Entra member sign-in. The servers[] host
  below (api.insurer-internal.example.com) is a placeholder on the IETF-reserved
  documentation domain example.com, not an ACORD endpoint. This document is an API
  Evangelist illustration of the standard, NOT a contract published by ACORD, and must not
