The complexity of correspondence can be determined by analyzing
the following parameters:
- Layout complexity
- How complex is the layout? Letters such Notice of Cancellation
have simple layouts. Whereas letters such as Claims Coverage Confirmation
has a complex layout with several tables and more than 60 form fields. Creating
complex layouts takes more time and requires advanced layout design skill
sets.
- Number of text paragraphs and conditions
- A loan contract can be 10 pages long and contain more than
40 text clauses. Many of these clauses would be dependent on loan
parameters. Based on the exact terms and conditions, the clauses
would be included or excluded from the contract. Creating such letters requires
thorough planning and careful definition of the complex conditions.
This table provides some guidelines that you can use to classify
your letters:
