Reading Insights

Insights pages display charts and tables built from persisted orchestration output. Open them after a successful run (Ready or reviewable DTO_Ready state). If the plan is Out of Date, recalculate before trusting results.

Insight pages wrap charts in card borders with optional detail tables beneath. Values use the plan display currency.

Overview versus Insights

Overview summarizes the highest-value metrics (current wealth, health, projected net worth, retirement cash flow, watchlist). Use Insights for deep dives on a single topic.

Insight and suggestion cards use color variants (risk, warning, success, info) to highlight planning opportunities.

Plan health panel

The health panel on Overview interprets projection outcomes into plain-language guidance. It refreshes when orchestration completes and surfaces actionable issues with links to relevant input pages.

Issue type Severity Typical fix
Underfunded purchase Critical Increase source account balance or adjust real-estate purchase timing
Household funding gap Warning / Critical Review income, expenses, and withdrawal strategy
Partially funded money movement Warning Fix mortgage payoff, transfer, or Roth conversion source accounts
Negative balance Critical Review accounts and withdrawal order
Reconciliation failure Critical Check money flows and linked-account funding; rerun calculation

Charts refresh when orchestration signals projection availability—they do not poll indefinitely. If data looks stale, confirm status on Plan Preferences and refresh the browser tab.
