FAQ
Questions you're probably thinking
Do I need to install anything?
No. Advisor Core runs entirely in your browser. Open it from any device, anywhere. Nothing to download or update.
Is my data private and secure?
The dashboard is a reference and planning tool — it doesn't store client PII, account numbers, or portfolio data. Access is controlled by invitation code.
How do I get access?
Advisor Core is currently invitation-only. If you believe you should have access, reach out to the team for an access code.
Who built this?
Advisor Core was built by a practicing financial advisor who got tired of stitching together six different tools to run one practice. Designed from the inside out — by someone who actually sits across the table from clients.
How often is the Knowledge Library updated?
Tax thresholds, contribution limits, and regulatory changes are updated regularly. Module content is refined over time based on real-world advisor feedback.
Ready to run your practice like you run your portfolios?
Advisor Core is currently available by invitation only. If you have an access code, enter it to continue.

Quarterly Theme Planner
Set a strategic theme for each quarter. Themes drive what you write, who you write for, and when. Instead of ad-hoc content, you build a coherent editorial strategy that maps to market seasonality, client needs, and your business development priorities.
How to Use Themes
Pick one primary theme per quarter that aligns with what your clients are thinking about. Q1 is typically tax-season driven. Q2 is mid-year reviews and business planning. Q3 is back-to-school and education planning. Q4 is year-end tax actions and charitable giving. When you add content items, tag them with the current quarter's theme — this keeps everything focused and prevents the "write about everything, connect with nobody" trap.

Segment 1 — High-Income Equity Comp Professionals
Tech / Finance / Cross-Industry Directors, VPs, and Executives
Ages 28–44. Making real money. Building real wealth. But RSUs vest without a plan, options expire unexercised or exercised wrong, deferred comp elections are made in a vacuum, and most people don't have anyone coordinating the full picture. They're too busy and assume their accountant handles it.
RSU tax hit bigger than expected
Options expiring or exercised wrong
Deferred comp elected without a strategy
No retirement contribution sequencing plan
Concentrated employer stock, no exit plan
CPA handles taxes — nobody handles planning
"I'll figure it out when things slow down"
High income, zero coordination across accounts

Send with no note. Your profile does the work before they accept. Best at scale — highest acceptance rate.
CR-2Value Note — Senior Prospects
▾
Best for: Directors, VPs, C-suite. Under 300 characters.
hey [Name] — we work with a lot of Directors and VPs navigating equity comp — RSUs, options, the tax coordination piece. thought it made sense to connect.
CR-3Fast Accept Follow-Up — Under 2 Hours
▾
Fast acceptance = strong interest signal. DM within 2 hours. One question only.
hey [Name] — appreciate the connect.
quick one — how are you thinking about the equity comp piece right now? RSUs, options, any of that — something you have mapped out or more of a 'figure it out when it vests' situation?
Initial DMs — Cold Outbound
Script 548-Hour Wait DM — Slow Accept
▾
Send 48 hours after accepting. Reference something from their profile.
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
saw [specific observation from profile — company, role, tenure, recent post].
the equity comp planning piece — RSUs, deferred comp, how it all interacts with your overall tax picture — is that something you've got mapped out or more of a moving target?
Script 1Observation Opener — Visible Trigger
▾
Use when: job change, promotion, post about "what's next," or work anniversary.
hey [Name] — congrats on [the new role / anniversary / transition].
one thing I see a lot at this stage — the equity comp piece starts getting more complex and most people haven't mapped out how the tax timing actually works.
is that something you've got dialed in or more of a gap right now?
Script 2Pattern Interrupt — No Visible Trigger
▾
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
most executives I talk to have the equity piece figured out on paper but haven't mapped out how the tax timing actually works across all of it.
is that something you've got dialed in or more of a gap right now?
Follow-Up Sequence (No Reply)
F-1Day 2 — Soft Bump
▾
hey [Name] — just bumping this up in case it got buried.
not trying to be annoying — just thought the equity comp piece might be relevant timing-wise. happy to share some thoughts if it's useful.
F-2Day 4–5 — Value Drop
▾
hey [Name] — wanted to drop this over.
we put together a one-page RSU tax timing framework — covers the main decision points before and after every vest. no strings, just thought it might be useful given your situation.
F-3Day 7 — Contrast
▾
hey [Name] — I'll keep this short.
most people in your position have done the hard work earning the comp. the tax and planning piece just hasn't caught up.
if it's ever useful to have a second set of eyes, happy to take a look. no pitch.
F-4Day 10–12 — Final Bump
▾
Last message. If no response: stop. Mark "Closed — Not a Fit."
hey [Name] — last one from me.
if the equity comp planning is something you want to revisit at some point, I'm here. no pressure.
if timing's off, I get it — worth a quick conversation when things settle?
Objection Responses
O-1"Not Interested"
▾
[Name] — understood. if the timing ever shifts or the equity comp piece gets more complicated, happy to be a resource.
good luck with everything.
If no response: stop. Mark "Closed — Not a Fit." No further messages.
O-2"Too Busy"
▾
[Name] — totally get it.
quick thought — the equity comp timing decisions tend to be time-sensitive. once a vest happens or an option window closes, the planning options narrow fast.
happy to put together a one-page summary you can look at whenever things slow down. no meeting needed.
O-3"I Handle My Own Finances"
▾
[Name] — respect that.
curious — how are you thinking about the tax coordination piece between the equity comp and the rest of your income? that tends to be the part where even people who are financially sharp find it useful to have a second set of eyes.
O-4"Already Have an Advisor"
▾
[Name] — solid. what are they helping you with on the equity comp side specifically?
One question only. Their answer reveals the gap. If they say "managing my portfolio" — the equity comp planning is likely uncovered.
O-5"Send Me More Info"
▾
[Name] — happy to. before I do — what specific question are you trying to answer?
want to make sure I send you something actually relevant, not a generic overview.
Meeting Booking
M-1Soft Meeting Invite — Warm, Not Urgent

if you want, I'm happy to take a look at how things are set up and share where the biggest gaps tend to be.
not a sales meeting — just a 20-minute conversation to see if any of it is useful.
worth it?
M-2Direct Meeting Close — Hot Signals Present
▾
Only use when: they've expressed a specific concern, asked about process, and replied 2+ times with substance.
[Name] — let's set something up.

pick whatever works — I'll walk you through exactly how we'd think about your equity comp situation.
Segment — Exiting Business Owners
Founders, CEOs, and Entrepreneurs Approaching or Executing an Exit
The business is the biggest asset — often the only real asset. The exit is a once-in-a-lifetime financial event and most owners are underprepared on the planning side. Deal attorneys handle structure. CPAs handle taxes. But no one is coordinating the full picture before the LOI is signed.
No exit strategy until a buyer appears
Asset sale vs. stock sale — massive tax difference
Capital gains deferral options closed after LOI
No post-exit income plan to replace distributions
Underestimating net proceeds after taxes
Estate plan not updated before the exit

Initial DMs
Script 1Exit Signal Visible
▾
Timing: within 24 hours of accepting. Use when exit language is visible in their profile or posts.
hey [Name] — saw [the post about what's next / the announcement].
curious — is the tax side of the exit something you've got mapped out, or still figuring that piece out?
Script 2Long Tenure — No Explicit Exit Signal
▾
hey [Name] — that's a serious run at [company]. don't see that much anymore.
with a tenure like that, are you starting to think about what the next chapter looks like financially? mapped out, or still a future thing?
Works best for founders who have been through business growth cycles. Plants a planning urgency without being pushy.
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
most business owners I talk to don't figure out the deal structure until after the LOI is signed. that's usually too late — the planning options close fast once a buyer is in the room.
curious — where are things at for you right now? exploring options, or more of a future thing?

want me to send it over?
F-3Day 7 — Pattern Observation
▾
hey [Name] — I'll keep this short.
most business owners I talk to look back on the exit and wish they'd started the tax and wealth planning piece 12–18 months earlier. not 12–18 months after.
if it's ever useful to have that conversation before things get moving, I'm here.
F-4Day 10–12 — Final Bump
▾
Last message. If no response: stop. Mark "Closed — Not Now." May revisit in 6 months.
hey [Name] — last one from me.
if the exit planning conversation becomes relevant at some point, happy to be a resource — no pitch.
if timing's off, I understand completely.
Objection Responses
O-1"Not Thinking About It Yet"
▾
[Name] — fair enough.
one thing worth knowing — most of the planning vehicles that reduce capital gains on an exit have to be set up before any deal is on the table. once it's in LOI, the options narrow fast.
happy to chat when the timing makes more sense.
O-2"Already Have a Financial Advisor"
▾
[Name] — good. what are they helping you with on the exit tax strategy side specifically?
One question. Let them reveal the gap. If they say "managing my investments" — the exit planning is uncovered.
O-3"Too Busy Right Now"
▾
[Name] — completely get it.
quick thought — the planning decisions that actually move the needle on what you net from a sale have to happen before the deal is on the table, not during.
I can put together a one-page summary of what those are. takes 5 minutes to read. no meeting needed.
O-4"Send Me More Info"
▾
[Name] — happy to. before I do — what's the most pressing piece for you right now?
timeline? deal structure? what happens to the money after? want to make sure I send something actually relevant.
O-5"We're Not Ready to Sell Yet"
▾
[Name] — that's actually the best time to have this conversation.
the planning that makes the biggest difference — deal structure, tax deferral vehicles, estate alignment — all needs to be in place well before a buyer is in the room.
would it make sense to talk through what that looks like at your stage?
Meeting Booking
M-1Low-Pressure Offer
▾
[Name] — based on what you've shared, it sounds like the planning side of the exit hasn't been fully mapped out yet.
I'd be happy to walk through what that typically looks like — deal structure options, how the tax picture usually shakes out, what to think about before a buyer is in the room.
no pitch — just a 20-minute conversation to see if any of it is useful. worth it?
M-2Direct Close — Active Deal in Motion
▾
Use only when: they've confirmed a deal is actively in discussion. Timing is critical — act fast.
[Name] — if there's already a buyer in the conversation, we should talk soon.
the window for the most impactful planning decisions closes once you're under LOI. let's find 20 minutes this week.

Segment — Pre-Retirees / Corporate Executives
55–67 Year Olds in the Final Accumulation Phase
5–10 years from retirement. They've done everything right — saved, invested, built their career. But the transition from accumulating to distributing is fundamentally different and most people don't have a written plan for it. The sequence of withdrawals, Social Security timing, and RMD management can make a material difference in lifetime income.

Script 3Deferred Comp / Complex Comp Visible
▾
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
one thing that comes up a lot for executives at your level — the deferred comp timing piece. when you take it, how much per year, and how it interacts with Social Security and RMDs ends up being one of the biggest lifetime tax decisions you'll make.
is that something you've mapped out or more of a "figure it out when I get there" situation?

F-3Day 7 — The Fragile Decade
▾
hey [Name] — one thought and then I'll leave you alone.
the 5 years before and after retirement are the highest-risk window for permanent income reduction — even when long-run average returns look fine. most people don't realize this until it's too late to reposition.

Objection Responses
O-1"I Already Have an Advisor"
▾
[Name] — good. what are they helping you with on the retirement income sequencing side specifically — which accounts to draw from first and in what order?
One question. If they say "managing my portfolio" — the income planning is uncovered.
O-2"Not Ready to Retire Yet"
▾
[Name] — that's actually the best time for this conversation.
the decisions that matter most — Roth conversions, deferred comp timing, Social Security strategy — all need to happen in the years before retirement, not after.
would it make sense to talk through where things stand now?
O-3"I Handle My Own Investments"
▾
[Name] — respect that.
curious — the income sequencing piece specifically, which accounts to draw from first to minimize lifetime taxes — is that something you've modeled out, or more of a work in progress?
O-4"I'm Not Sure I Need Help"
▾
[Name] — fair.
one question worth sitting with — do you have a written plan that shows what you draw from and when across all your accounts, what that does to your tax picture each year, and how long your money lasts under different market scenarios?
if yes, you're ahead of most people. if not, that's the conversation worth having.

CR-3Fast Accept — Under 2 Hours

hey [Name] — appreciate the connect.
quick one — how are you thinking about the disability coverage piece? most group plans for physicians cover base salary only — not the variable income. something you've evaluated or more of an assumption you're covered?
Initial DMs
Script 1Disability Gap Opener
▾
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
one thing that comes up almost universally with physicians — the disability gap. most group plans cover 60% of base salary but don't touch variable income, bonuses, or the practice draw.
is that something you've evaluated, or more of an assumption that you're covered?
Script 2Retirement Savings Late Start
▾
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
the retirement savings start date for most physicians is later than almost any other profession — training eats the 20s and early 30s.
are you playing catch-up with max contributions now, or still sorting out the best strategy?
Script 3Backdoor Roth / Tax Strategy
▾
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
most physicians are above the income limit for direct Roth contributions. the backdoor Roth is one of the highest-value moves available at your income level — but a lot of people haven't set it up yet.

▾

most of the physicians I work with are smart, high-earning people who have done everything right clinically. the financial planning side just hasn't had the same attention — not because of lack of effort, but because training doesn't cover it.

Objection Responses
O-1"I Already Have an Advisor"
▾
[Name] — good. what are they helping you with on the disability income gap specifically — the difference between what your group plan covers and your actual total compensation?
One question. Most general advisors haven't addressed this gap specifically for physicians.
O-2"Too Busy"
▾
[Name] — completely understand.
quick thought — disability policies get more expensive and harder to qualify for as you get older. the best time to lock in own-occupation coverage is while you're young and healthy.
I can put together a one-page overview of where the gaps typically are. no meeting needed, just something to look at when you have 5 minutes.
O-3"I Think I'm Covered"

[Name] — you might be. quick question — does your policy cover you if you can't perform the specific duties of your specialty, or just any occupation?

Script 2Tax Coordination Opener
▾
hey [Name] — good to be connected.
the thing I see most often with dual-income households at your level — the tax strategy across two W-2s isn't coordinated. each spouse manages their own 401(k) without looking at the combined picture.

those two things alone are usually worth a conversation.
O-2"Already Have an Advisor"
▾
[Name] — good. are they running the backdoor Roth for both of you? and do you have a single combined financial plan, or are you each managing separately?
O-3"We Haven't Thought About It"
▾
[Name] — that's actually the most common answer I get from high-income couples who are otherwise very financially savvy.
the coordination piece — across two incomes, two 401(k)s, two tax returns — is the part that usually has the most unrealized opportunity. worth 20 minutes to take a look?

F-2Week 3–4 — Coffee / Call Suggestion
▾
hey [Name] — been following your posts. always good to see someone who takes the [estate planning / exit strategy / tax coordination] piece seriously.
would a 20-minute call to explore whether there's any overlap in client situations make sense? not a pitch on either side — just getting to know each other's practices.
happy to do it whenever works for you.
F-3Situational — Client Overlap Identified
▾
Use when: you've identified a mutual connection or a client who works with both of you.
hey [Name] — noticed we're both connected to [Name]. small world.
if there's ever a client situation where the financial planning and [legal / tax / deal] side need to be coordinated, I'd love to be the person you call. happy to return the favor.
worth a quick conversation?
Objection / Hesitation Responses
O-1"I Already Work with Advisors"
▾
[Name] — totally makes sense.
curious — are those relationships mutual, or more one-directional? I'm always looking to build relationships where both sides are looking out for the other's clients.
what does that typically look like with your current advisor relationships?
O-2"Not Sure There's Overlap"
▾
[Name] — fair. a 20-minute call would tell us pretty quickly.
we work primarily with business owners approaching exits, high-income executives, and people navigating transitions — those tend to need both good legal / tax work and good financial planning coordination.
worth a conversation to see if there's any overlap?
Building the COI Relationship
1
Don't pitch — learn First conversation is entirely about their practice, their clients, their challenges. Not yours.
2
Make the first referral If you have a client who needs a good CPA or attorney, refer first. Reciprocity is earned, not requested.
3
Stay in touch proactively Share relevant content — tax law changes, planning ideas, anonymized client scenarios. Not self-promotion.
4
Invite a coffee or call After 2–3 meaningful exchanges, suggest a 20-minute call to explore whether a referral relationship makes sense for both sides.
5
Lead with credentials CEPA®, CDFA®, CIMA® — proof of technical competence that CPAs and attorneys respect. Mention them in context, not as a list.

Segment 10 — Tech Founders & Post-IPO Wealth
Tech Founders, Early Employees, and Post-IPO Liquidity
Founders, early employees, and senior tech operators going through (or recently past) a liquidity event — IPO, secondary sale, tender offer, acquisition. Concentrated stock, multi-state tax exposure, QSBS potential, and lockup expirations all hitting at once. They're sophisticated but the planning piece almost never matches the capability gap.
Concentrated stock 70%+ of net worth
Lockup expiring with no diversification plan
QSBS potentially missed or unclaimed
AMT exposure from ISO exercises
Multi-state tax surprise (CA + new state)
10b5-1 plan never designed properly
Estate freeze opportunity (GRAT/SLAT) missed
Charitable strategy on low-basis stock untapped

Use when: company IPO'd in last 18 months, recent secondary, post about "what's next," lockup expiring soon.

Segment 11 — Cannabis Industry Professionals
Cannabis Operators, Founders, and Senior Industry Professionals
A high-friction industry where traditional financial services barely function. Operators, dispensary owners, MSOs, and senior employees who need legitimate financial planning but get turned away by most advisors because of federal scheduling status. They are well-capitalized and significantly underserved. Most need help with the basics: banking, tax, retirement structure, and personal vs. business separation.
Compliance note: cannabis is federally illegal in the US. Confirm your firm has explicit policy and procedures for serving cannabis industry clients before any outreach.
Banking access intermittent or expensive
280E tax exposure crushing margins
Personal income heavily taxed, hard to plan around
Most advisors will not work with the industry
Retirement plan structure incomplete or absent
Banking relationships terminated unexpectedly
Insurance coverage gaps (D&O, key-person)
Estate planning ignores industry-specific risks

Segment 12 — Crypto Wealth & Newly Liquid Holders
Crypto Holders — Recently Liquid or Sitting on Major Unrealized Gains
Individuals with significant crypto holdings — either recently realized into fiat or still holding substantial unrealized gains. Many bought early, held through volatility, and now have a planning problem they did not have when their wallet was worth $50K. Tax exposure, custody risk, estate planning, and the conversion-to-traditional-wealth transition are all undermanaged.

Segment 13 — Real Estate Investors & 1031 Exchangers
Real Estate Investors — Landlords, Syndicate LPs, and Active Buyer-Sellers
Investors whose net worth is built primarily through real estate. Active landlords, syndicate LPs, developers, or owners of appreciated property nearing sale. They distrust traditional markets and want strategies that respect their asset class. The opportunity is in 1031, DST, QOZ, cost segregation, and CRT — not in a lecture about diversification they do not want.
Property sale approaching, 1031 timing pressure
Tired of being a landlord, hate the tax hit to sell
Depreciation recapture surprise on a sale
Concentrated geographic risk
Heirs unable or unwilling to manage portfolio
No retirement income strategy outside the properties

📚 Practice Profile Your firm's voice, clients, services, and operations — captured once, used by the assistant everywhere
Build the foundation of your practice
Your Practice Profile is the foundation everything else builds on. The more you fill in, the more the assistant can write content, draft emails, prep meetings, and answer prospect questions in your voice — not a generic financial-advisor voice.
Each category is pre-filled with a worked example you can edit, replace, or delete entirely. Nothing here is shared with other advisors — your profile is private to your account.

❓ Walkthrough Guide A plain-English tour of every feature and sub-feature
It's an all-in-one toolkit for financial advisors. Everything you use day-to-day lives in one place: meeting prep, email templates, conversation scripts, a knowledge library, client tiering, marketing content, and more.
How to find anything fast:
Press the / key from anywhere. A search bar at the top of the screen lights up. Type any keyword — "RMD," "divorce," "tax-loss" — and you'll see every relevant template, script, meeting, and reference across the whole app. Click any result to jump there instantly.
⚡ Do this first
Open Practice Profile from the sidebar (under "Practice Management"). Fill in your firm name, team members, and brand. This info shows up on reports, exports, and across the app. It only takes 5–10 minutes and makes everything else feel personalized.
The first-time Welcome Panel:
The first time you open the app, the Dashboard shows a three-step Welcome Panel: (1) Set Up Your Firm Info, (2) Explore Your Calendar, (3) Run Your First Meeting. Click each step to jump there. When you're done, click "Got it — don't show this again" to dismiss it.
Where things live:
The sidebar on the left groups everything by purpose:
Client Management — daily client work (Dashboard, Calendar, Segments, Tiering)
Outreach & Content — marketing and communication (Emails, Newsletter, Scripts, LinkedIn, Resources)
Practice Management — running the business (Playbook, Content Calendar, SOPs, Profile)

⚡ Advanced Features
Smaller features that don't live in their own tab but make the app more powerful.
💡 Wishlist
What it is: A built-in feature request and bug report system. Anything you'd like the app to do — but doesn't yet — goes here.
How to find it: Look for the 💡 lightbulb icon on the Dashboard or in the user menu area. Click to open the wishlist panel.
What you can do:
Submit a new feature request with title and description
Report a bug
See the status of your previous submissions (Open, In Progress, Shipped, Closed)
Vote on community submissions (where available)
👥 Team Management 🚧
Status: Coming Soon — currently UI only.
What it is (planned): A team seat management panel on the Dashboard that lets account owners on the Team tier invite up to 5 advisor team members. Each invited member would get their own login and full Advisor access, with shared visibility into the workspace.
Current state: The panel UI exists and you can add names/emails locally, but those additions do not yet sync to the backend. Added members cannot log in, cannot see your dashboard, and the list does not persist across devices.
What will be built in a future release:
Add team members by email — they receive an invite link to set their password
Shared workspace data (configurable: shared read-only, shared read-write, or separate per-member)
Up to 5 advisor seats per account on the Team tier
Seat management — see usage ("3 / 5 seats used"), remove members, free up seats
Auto-sync to backend so the team list follows you across devices
Granular permissions (full access vs. read-only vs. specific tabs)
⚠️ Heads up: Adding members through the current panel only saves to your local browser. It does not create accounts, grant access, or share your data. This feature is on the roadmap and will be built out in a future release.
🎨 Brand Identity Setup
What it is: Your firm's visual identity (colors, logo initials, fonts) used in every PDF export and printable artifact across the app.
Where to find it: Configurable in two places — Practice Profile (firm-level branding) and Resources tab (brand preview and overrides).
What flows from it:
PDF report headers and footers
Logo on exported one-pagers
Color accents in printable materials
LinkedIn Prospect Analyzer's tailored message tone
🔐 Login & Session
What it is: Standard authentication so your data syncs across devices.
What you'll see:
Login button at top of Dashboard — "Signed in as [Name]" with a tier badge
Tier badges — "Advisor" (standard) or "Admin" (your admin-only access)
Log Out button — top right of the Dashboard
Sidebar shows admin group only when logged in as an admin
📥 Export & Print
What it is: Most major tabs can generate printable, branded PDFs.
Where exports live:
Practice Playbook — "Export Section" (one tool) or "Full Report PDF" (all tools)
Annual Calendar — 3 .ics export buttons for Outlook/Google/Apple Calendar
Tiering — printable tier scorecard with your branding
Meeting Library — printable meeting briefs to bring to a client meeting
Knowledge Library — print entries as one-pagers (great for client handoffs)
LinkedIn My Guides — your custom guides exported as branded PDFs to share with prospects
📌 Sidebar Behavior
What it is: The collapsible sidebar with smart memory.
What it does:
Click the ☰ button (top-left) to collapse the sidebar to icons-only mode
State is remembered — if you collapse it, it stays collapsed when you reload
Hover over any icon in collapsed mode to see a tooltip with the tab name
Search inside the sidebar with the "Search tabs..." input at the top
🔄 Auto-Sync & Local Storage
What it is: Your data persists in two layers.
How it works:
Local browser storage — every change saves to your browser instantly (no manual save needed)
Cloud sync (when configured) — also saves to a backend database so your data follows you across devices
Auto-save indicator — most input fields save as you type (look for the saving indicator on relevant tabs)
If you clear browser data without sync configured — your local-only data is lost. Always configure sync for production use.

❓ FAQ
Is my data saved?
Yes. Data is stored in your browser and (when configured) synced to a backend database. To keep your data across browsers or devices, make sure backend sync is set up. Without sync, clearing your browser data will erase your local data.
Can I customize templates and scripts?
Yes. Email Library, LinkedIn Playbook (via My Guides), Client Segments, and Practice Playbook all support custom entries. Your additions are saved separately and tagged "My Templates" or "My Guides" so you can find them easily.
What about compliance?
Every piece of client-facing content needs principal review before sending. The templates are pre-screened for tone and FINRA Rule 2210 alignment, but they're starting points. If you reference any third-party award (Forbes, Barron's), you must add the required disclosure language verbatim before publishing.
I can't find a specific feature — how do I look for it?
Press / and type any keyword. The search covers every library and every tab. If you remember the topic but not where it lives, search will find it. The sidebar also has its own search bar at the top.
How do I report a bug or request a feature?
Use the Wishlist feature (look for the 💡 lightbulb icon on the Dashboard or settings area). Both bugs and feature requests go there. The team can see status updates on each submission.
Is it mobile-friendly?
It works on tablets and phones, but the data-heavy tabs (Tiering, Calendar, Playbook) work best on a screen 10" or larger. The search bar collapses gracefully on narrow screens.
What's the difference between Advisor and Admin tier?
Advisor tier gives you full access to all advisor-facing tabs (everything in this guide). Admin tier adds the Admin Panel — used for managing users, access codes, and platform-level settings. You'll see a small badge in the top bar showing your tier.
Can my team use this with me?
Multi-user team functionality is on the roadmap but not yet functional. The "Team Members" panel on the Dashboard is currently UI-only — adding members locally does not create logins, share your data, or grant access. The full team feature (invites, shared workspace, seat management) will be built in a future release. For now, each advisor needs their own account.
Press / to search the app, or use the sidebar to navigate.

🔑 How Access Works Now
Advisor Core is invitation-only. There are no paid plans, no public signup, and no user database — access is controlled entirely by the codes you create. To give someone access, go to the Access Codes tab, create a code, and share it with them privately. They enter their name and the code on the landing page to sign in.

📋 How Access Works
Each access code is linked to a Supabase account. When you create a code, a Supabase account is created at the same time. When the user enters their code, they are silently logged into their Supabase account — their data syncs across all their devices automatically. Revoking a code does not delete their Supabase account or their data.
