This is a concept direction: the idea, the audience and the design approach, written up before the demo is built. The picture above is a sketch of the layout, not a screenshot.
The interactive feature
Three-path check
Three plain questions lead to one of three short action lists. Nothing is typed in or stored.
The concept
- What it addresses
- Mid-life financial review material and planning prompts.

- Members in their forties and fifties with a pension they rarely look at.
- Their main task
- Take stock of their pension and pick one thing to do next.

- Use the provider's planner or book free guidance.
- Visual direction
- A guided check with three paths (on track, unsure, behind) and illustration rather than charts.
- Copy approach
- Candid and supportive. It names the common gaps without judgement.
