What is the next step after the APB Financial Architect Phase 1 diagnostic?

After Phase 1, you receive a written Financial Exposure Map identifying your specific gaps. Phase 2 involves designing coverage recommendations calibrated to those gaps. There is no obligation after Phase 1, and Phase 2 begins only if you choose to proceed.

What does Phase 2 with APB Financial Architect involve?

Phase 2 translates the Financial Exposure Map findings into specific protection recommendations calibrated to your income, benefits, and obligations. APB designs coverage solutions from multiple carriers - not a single shelf of products - targeting the exact gaps identified in Phase 1. Phase 2 begins only when you choose to proceed.

How long does it take to get coverage in place after the APB diagnostic?

Most clients who move from Phase 1 to Phase 2 have coverage in place within 30 to 60 days of application, depending on underwriting complexity. Individual disability policies typically require a medical exam. Life insurance and MYGA products may have shorter timelines. APB guides the process from application through delivery.

The Resource Was Step One. Here's Step Two.

What you downloaded gave you the framework. The diagnostic gives you the numbers specific to your situation.

The gap between knowing the concept and knowing your number

The guide you downloaded explains the problem category — income exposure, protection gaps, cross-coordination issues. Most people who read it recognize the pattern. Some figure out they have a version of the problem. Almost none know how large their specific gap is.

That's what the diagnostic does. It takes the concept and applies it to your actual income, your actual policies, and your actual household or business — and produces a written number: here's where your exposure is, and here's how large it is.

Two diagnostics — choose the one that fits

Both diagnostics: No charge for Phase 1. The session produces a written one-page Financial Exposure Map. You keep it regardless of what comes next. No product recommendation during the session — that's a separate, optional conversation if something comes up worth addressing.

What to bring

Nothing is required. A pre-session worksheet arrives after you book — 10 minutes to fill out, covers your income structure and existing coverage. If you have policy documents available, bring them. If not, we work from what you remember and fill in gaps during the session.

Schedule your diagnostic

Phase 1 is no charge. Written output included.
