Show the future in today’s decisions
Retirement projections should connect to everyday behaviour. If the graph does not point to a concrete weekly action, it becomes wallpaper.
- Show current path, modest change and stretch change.
- Use plain-English assumptions.
- Let the client see progress as fields are completed.
Make confidence visual
A client should be able to tell in seconds whether the plan is getting clearer: more facts complete, fewer gaps, and a better long-term projection.
- Use completion rings and traffic-light cards.
- Turn missing fields into next actions.
- Keep adviser-only value separate from client-facing motivation.
