Methodology
Our systematic approach to assessing wealth complexity across multiple dimensions
Methodological Foundation
The Wealth Complexity Assessment methodology provides a structured framework for evaluating complex wealth situations through multiple dimensions. Our approach integrates evidence-based analysis with sophisticated complexity evaluation techniques developed specifically for wealth contexts.
The methodology is anchored in 500+ established wealth management practices organized within five complexity dimensions. Each practice is evaluated systematically through documented evidence, creating a comprehensive analysis of complexity factors.
Evidence-Based Analysis
All observations are grounded in verifiable documentation and client-provided information, ensuring factual accuracy and contextual relevance.
Multi-Dimensional Perspective
Our methodology examines complexity through integrated analysis of jurisdictional, structural, generational, asset, and operational dimensions.
Non-Advisory Positioning
The methodology maintains a strict evidence-based approach without providing recommendations or prescriptive guidance.
Assessment Process
Information Collection
Through a secure environment, client documentation is collected and organized according to complexity dimensions. This includes entity structures, jurisdictional information, asset documentation, governance frameworks, and operational processes.
Structured Analysis
Documentation is systematically reviewed against established practices within each complexity dimension. Each practice is evaluated based on evidence of implementation, contextual relevance, and dimensional impact.
Complexity Assessment
Using our standardized 30-95 scoring methodology, complexity levels are determined for each dimension. This approach acknowledges that even simple wealth situations have some inherent complexity while establishing practical upper boundaries.
Cross-Dimensional Analysis
Relationships between dimensions are mapped to identify complexity amplifiers and interdependencies. This reveals how complexity in one dimension may influence others, providing a more sophisticated understanding than isolated analysis.
Evidence Documentation
For each observation, supporting evidence is referenced and documented, creating a clear audit trail. This ensures that all assessment findings can be traced to specific client documentation.
Insight Presentation
Results are presented through sophisticated visualization and detailed dimensional reports. The presentation focuses on evidenced observations while maintaining a non-advisory position throughout.
Deployment Options
The Wealth Complexity Assessment methodology can be deployed through two primary models, both designed to maintain the highest standards of security and confidentiality:
Client-Tenant Model
For clients seeking maximum data control, the assessment framework can be deployed within their own secure Azure tenant. This approach ensures all data remains within the client's security perimeter while providing the full capabilities of the assessment methodology.
Secure Service Model
Alternatively, clients may utilize our dedicated secure environment for assessment purposes. This option includes comprehensive security protocols, including data encryption, access controls, and confidentiality safeguards throughout the assessment process.
Both deployment models maintain strict adherence to data protection principles and can be tailored to align with client-specific security requirements and jurisdictional considerations.
