About this exhibit

The internal water-shedding roof-damage test

State Farm Operational Guide 75-160 defines roof damage as reduced water-shedding ability or life expectancy, then applies test squares, cost thresholds, and a repair-versus-replace analysis slope by slope. Those internal rules determined whether a policyholder was offered shingles, one slope, or a full roof.
