Scenarios — Where assumptions are tested, not repeated
This section brings together scenario-based essays that examine how different financial choices play out over time.
Rather than focusing on what to invest in, these pieces explore what must be sustained — across returns, risk, inflation, debt, and time.
Each article compares realistic paths side by side:
different assumptions, different constraints, different long-term outcomes.
The goal is not to provide answers or recommendations, but to expose hidden trade-offs —
and to show how small differences in structure can compound into very different results.
This is where financial decisions are questioned before they are calculated.
