โšก Decision Priority Queue

P1 ยท FOUNDATION

Monthly Cash Flow Baseline

Without this, all other analysis is guesswork.
Data needed: 3 months bank statements (categorize income, fixed expenses, variable)
Build effort: 1โ€“2 hour data-entry session
Outcome: real surplus/deficit number that drives everything else
P2 ยท LARGEST $ DECISION

Dad's PA Garage Decision

~$115K opportunity, partnership structure unclear.
Data needed: deal terms, financing options, revenue projections
Build effort: 2โ€“3 sessions after cash flow established
Timeline pressure: dad evaluating now ยท friends meeting June 4 may shape it ยท see page
P3 ยท LIFE DECISION

Path Forward (5 paths)

CORRECTED 2026-05-13. Sam left GM in 2022 (VSP), Hyundai in Oct 2024. Now fully self-employed. Question is which path to compound on: Same Solutions Scale / Passive Stack / Builder-Founder / Multi-Domain / Consultant.
Data needed: cash flow baseline (drives bridge-closure target)
Build effort: tonight's recalibration to pick primary path; per-path modeling after
Timeline: Sam picks primary path 10 PM tonight ยท see page
P4 ยท 401K BRIDGE

401k Tracker โ€” Reconstruct + Close Bridge

~$350K Fidelity. Pulled occasionally as bridge โ€” goal is to stop unless for compounding investment.
Data needed: withdrawal history 2022โ€“now, purpose breakdown, monthly profit baseline
Build effort: 30 min Fidelity reconstruction + 10 min criteria lock
Why it matters: bridge math compounds โ€” $20K/yr pulled = $600K reduction by retirement ยท see page
P5 ยท ANNUAL COMPOUND

Tax / ACA Optimization

LLC structure, ACA subsidy planning, deductions.
Data needed: last year's return, projected 2026 income, family structure
Build effort: 1โ€“2 sessions
Timeline: 2026 tax year ongoing decisions ยท see page

๐Ÿงญ Honest Expectations

This hub is a 6โ€“9 session build over 2โ€“4 weeks. Tonight's recalibration is for picking the first data-entry session, not for trying to populate it all.

Recommended first action: Sam captures 3 months of bank statements (phone pic, redact account numbers), shares with planning chat. Build cash flow baseline. ~1โ€“2 hour session.
