What is meant by Wealth Architecture

Wealth
Wealth is the economic foundation that has been built and that gives the owner and the family security, freedom of choice and the ability to carry out their intentions. It includes the business, the assets and the income, but it is not measured by their value alone. A person may own significant assets and still have no access to funds, no way to step back and no clarity about who will continue what has been started.
Its architecture
The architecture of wealth is the deliberate arrangement of ownership, management and the relationships between people. It makes clear who owns what, who takes the decisions, who receives the income, who bears the risk and what happens when something changes.
The arrangement starts from people’s intentions, not from the form of the documents. That is why law, capital and ownership are treated not as a sum of separate transactions, but as parts of one structure.
The point of instability
Every structure relies on conditions that are rarely written down: the presence of the founder, agreement between the partners, the heir’s readiness to take over the management. The point of instability is the place at which the structure locks or loses value when such a condition falls away.
Two partners with equal shares may have different expectations about work and income. A family may own property but have no funds to pay out an heir’s share. A founder may have decided who will inherit, without having prepared who will manage.
Every analysis on the platform ends with the point of instability. Finding it in time, while decisions can still be taken by choice and not under compulsion, is the purpose of the whole platform.

The key concepts
The point of instability is sought with the help of ten key concepts. Each describes one part of the structure and poses a question the owner should be able to answer. Three of them are a good place to start:
- Who actually takes the decisions? Actual control →
- What happens when someone wants to leave? Workable exit →
- How will what has been created continue after the founder? Succession →
