Your Results
Overall Score
—
Strong Foundation
You've built real structure.
The fundamentals are in place. Focus on refining and keeping pace with your child's growth and the platforms they're moving to.
Getting There
Good foundation — meaningful gaps remain.
A few focused improvements can significantly increase your family's protection. Look at your lowest-scoring sections first.
Work to Do
Some pieces in place, but the gaps create real risk.
Prioritize your lowest-scoring sections one at a time. You don't have to fix everything at once — just start with the most exposed area.
Starting Point
A lot of ground to cover — and that's okay.
Every family starts somewhere. Clarity is step one. A 30-minute conversation can map out exactly where to begin.
