Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If comprehensive retirement planning options are provided to cover all categories (essential expenses, lifestyle expenses, unexpected expenses, and legacy planning), then the completeness and reliability of retirement planning is improved, but the complexity and confusion for clients increases
Solution Approach 1:
The retirement planning system is divided into four distinct modules: essential expenses module, lifestyle expenses module, unexpected expenses module, and legacy planning module. Each module handles a specific category of retirement planning, allowing comprehensive coverage while presenting information in organized, manageable segments to clients through separate interactive interfaces.
2Adaptability or versatility
If detailed product-level options are presented within each retirement planning category, then the adaptability and customization of retirement plans is improved, but the time required for planning sessions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-organizes product-level options within each module based on common retirement planning scenarios and best practices. Interactive interfaces are designed with predetermined categories and options that have been structured in advance, allowing advisors to guide clients through streamlined selection processes rather than presenting all possible options from scratch.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates interactive interfaces that provide real-time feedback to clients as they make selections within each module. The interfaces display how choices in one category affect overall retirement planning, enabling clients to make informed decisions efficiently while advisors can adjust recommendations based on client responses and preferences.
