The CLARITY Framework™ pillar

I - Insurance & Risk

Understand exposures that could interrupt the plan.

Insurance & Risk organizes life insurance, disability risk, estate liquidity, longevity, market timing, and other events that can disrupt a plan. It frames risk as a planning input, not only as a product question.

Planning questions

What this pillar helps answer

  • What event could disrupt the plan most severely?
  • Would dependants have enough resources if income stopped?
  • Could estate costs create a liquidity issue?
  • Which risks are retained, reduced, or transferred?

Framework context

How it connects

This pillar is part of a broader planning picture. A result in one area often changes another: cash flow affects savings, debt affects flexibility, taxes affect account choices, and personal goals shape what tradeoffs are acceptable.
