## Behavioral notes
- This type participates in the `SAIF.Business.Claim.ThirdParty` public API surface.
- Persistence and validation behavior depend on the containing BOF object model when this type is a business entity or criteria type.*

## Constraints and usage notes
- Use the type through its owning BOF workflow or collection when applicable.
- Nested criteria and helper types are usually instantiated by the library rather than by external callers directly.*

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements
> marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
