How a decision moves
Every decision follows the same path. It waits in one of two places, with the household or with a third party such as a custodian, and returns to In progress when the item arrives. A decision that waits more than 14 days gets a written reason and a named owner on this record.
- RecordedOwner named
- RequestedWork started
- In progressQuillfield does the work
- Waiting on householdA signature or a document
- CompleteAdviser confirms
The highlighted step is where the IRA consolidation sits today. A decision can also wait with a third party, and it returns to In progress when the item arrives.
Where the three decisions stand today:
- Raise the monthly distribution: Complete. - Update beneficiaries on all accounts: Complete. - Consolidate two IRAs: Waiting on household, with the corrected form to sign.
The count below shows how many of the three decisions are complete.
The note below explains the delay in plain terms, in the words Rebecca and Thomas will use at the review.
"A decision is finished when the work is done. If it is late, the reason and the owner belong on the record next to it, where the household can read them."
