The frameworks

A shared language for complex wealth.

The practice works with a set of named frameworks: tools for seeing a situation clearly and deciding what to do. They are introduced here and explored in depth on the Approach page.

I

The Wealth Ladder

Where a wealth holder stands on a recognisable progression determines which structures are timely and which are premature.

II

The Three Profiles

Persistence, Sequencing and Instability: three legal biographies that decide which tools fit and which will fail.

III

The Five Dimensions of Protection

Operating-risk, asset, fiscal, family-governance and continuity: the five dimensions a complete structure must address.

IV

The Complexity Budget

Every structure imposes maintenance. A simple architecture, governed consistently, outlasts an elaborate one left to degrade.

V

The Ninety-Day Absence Test

If the principal decision-maker were unreachable for ninety days, what would break? Each gap is a piece of work.

Writing

Notes from the practice.

Shorter written perspectives on sovereign architecture will be published here: residency, structure, family governance and continuity.

Until the first pieces appear, the frameworks above and the Approach page set out how the practice thinks. The book covers the same ground in full.

The book

World Wide Wealth.

The frameworks, and the reasoning behind them, are set out in full in World Wide Wealth: what sovereign architecture requires, in what order, at what stage of wealth, and the specific failure modes to avoid.

Working together

From reading to a conversation.

If the thinking resonates, the next step is a private conversation about your own situation, before any structure is proposed.
