Frequently Asked Questions
What data does the tool analyse?
The API weighs your inflation rate, market narrative, goals, risk tolerance, horizon and any sector details to draft an allocation that balances growth and safety (Morningstar Methodology, 2023).
How fast will I receive advice?
Responses usually arrive in under 5 seconds because the form posts to a cloud function optimised for sub-second inference (AWS Lambda latency report, 2022).
Is the guidance personalised to my risk score?
Yes. The engine maps Low, Moderate and High scores to risk-appropriate stock/bond splits similar to Vanguard’s models—e.g., Moderate ≈ 60 / 40 (Vanguard Portfolio Construction, 2022).
Can I reuse the advice for quarterly reviews?
Absolutely. Copy the text, paste it into your planner, then rerun the tool with updated inputs every quarter to capture new inflation and trend data (CFP Board recommendation, 2023).
Does the tool cost anything?
The public beta is free; future premium tiers may add tax optimisation modules, per the developer road-map (Company blog, 2023).
How is my information protected?
Your inputs travel over HTTPS and are deleted after processing, meeting ISO 27001 data-retention rules (ISO 27001:2018).
What if my sector lacks historical data?
The algorithm defaults to broad-market ETFs and flags the gap so you can research further—“Data gaps trigger a diversified fallback” (Tool documentation, 2023).
Can the tool replace a financial advisor?
Use it as a starting point. FINRA notes that robo-advice complements but does not replace fiduciary planning (FINRA Investor Alert, 2021).
