Set allocation. Make the loss visible.
Translate a goal, time horizon, near-term cash need, financial capacity, and willingness into broad portfolio roles—then inspect exactly how each role contributes to an illustrative stress loss.
A policy before products. This mission does not select a stock or fund, forecast a return, guarantee a loss limit, or declare one allocation optimal for every investor.

Gate A reviewed every locked deck, caption track, quiz, regulator page, and the complete 32-page Vanguard principles artifact. Source-authentic relationships stop at investor-first planning, capacity versus willingness, broad asset roles, diversification limits, and strategic allocation. Ready / Steady / Grow, all cases, stress losses, target ranges, loss budgets, and candidate ceilings are visibly labelled OPS or learner policy. They are not forecasts, recommendations, guarantees, or regulator limits. No live market data or optimizer output.
