This is a net-new sync test row.
Net-new record test for the decision_guide template. Confirms whether a second net-new row also syncs and whether decision_guide is wired to the split fields.
HOW TO USE THIS
Eight categories. Score each 1–5.
01
For each of the eight categories below, read the five score descriptions and pick the one that most honestly reflects where you are today. Don’t aspire — describe.
02
If you’re between two scores, pick the lower one. Investors will read the gap, not the aspiration.
03
When you finish, the running total updates live. Your total falls between 8 and 40.
04
The interpretation at the end translates that total into what it means and where to look first. Categories you scored lowest are usually the highest-leverage places to spend the next 30 days.
