What Your Score Means:

Your Current Score (2/5): You indicated you are somewhat dissatisfied with your firm's compatibility.

Your Desired Score (5/5): You rated compatibility as highly important to your practice success.

The Gap: There's a 3.0-point gap between what you need and what you're getting. This area is also trending worse over time, which compounds the concern.

Material operational friction exists. The question is whether it's improving or you've just adapted to working around brokenness.

Warning Signals

  • Technology works but fights against your natural workflows
  • Support is adequate but not proactive
Ask Your Firm
  • Ask for a specific roadmap for your pain points, with dates
  • Request service-level expectations in writing
  • Push for proactive support, not just reactive fixes
Due Diligence
  • What is on the technology and operations roadmap for the next 12 months?
  • How does the firm prioritize which operational problems to solve?
  • What investments are being made in advisor experience?

Capability

Compensation

Are your economics competitive, transparent, and aligned with how you deliver value to clients?
