"How many clients are you currently serving, and what's your expected growth timeline? I want to know whether the revenue picture is close enough to make an investment now make sense."

"My clients want to talk to a human, not use a platform."
High-net-worth clients absolutely want human relationships — I'm not suggesting otherwise. The question is: should every interaction require a human, or can some be handled efficiently so you can focus on the ones that actually need you?
"I'm an RIA — I need independent tools, not something tied to a broker-dealer."
Independence is the core of RIA value — I respect that. Our platform is broker-agnostic by design. We don't sell products, we don't take kickbacks, and we don't compete with your clients. Your clients are yours.
"My clients have sophisticated financial situations — they need a customized plan, not a template."
