How the Blueprint Works

Three meetings turn the analysis into a plan you understand and can use.

Most Blueprint engagements follow three working meetings and are completed in about 30 days after I receive the information needed to begin.

  1. Meeting 1

    Build the household picture

    We organize the facts, review the first analysis, and identify the retirement decisions that matter most.

  2. Meeting 2

    Review and refine the plan

    We work through the tradeoffs, correct assumptions, answer questions, and refine the recommendations around your priorities.

  3. Meeting 3

    Receive the Blueprint

    We walk through the finished plan, concise summary, supporting reports, and sequenced action path so you know what comes next.

What You Receive

A detailed Blueprint, a concise summary, and the analysis behind both.

The work is organized for two kinds of reading: a quick return to the decisions that matter now and a deeper reference when you need the reasoning, rules, or next step.

  • Household Blueprint

    A durable binder and matching PDF with your planning rules, recommendations, reasoning, actions, and review triggers.

  • Plan at a Glance

    A concise summary of the decisions and next actions you are most likely to revisit.

  • Action path and evidence

    A sequenced 12-month plan, supported where useful by RightCapital and Income Lab reports.

What It Asks of You

You bring the household picture. I organize the work.

Plan for three meetings over about a month, along with document gathering and brief follow-up questions between meetings.

  • Gather what you have

    Income and benefits, spending, accounts, tax returns, insurance, estate documents, and any decision deadlines.

  • Bring the decision-makers

    When a retirement decision affects a spouse or partner, both people participate in the key conversations.

  • Review and respond

    You react to the tradeoffs, answer follow-up questions, and confirm the priorities and assumptions that shape the final plan.

What It Costs

One stated fee for the complete Blueprint.

Stated flat fee for the household Blueprint

The fee is billed in two stages: after the agreement is signed and when the Blueprint is delivered.

The fee covers the planning work, meetings, and written or electronic Blueprint. The engagement ends at delivery and does not renew automatically.
