If a number is not sourced, we treat it as a draft. X1 is a planning and
coordination layer. We do not provide legal, tax, or investment advice.
Priority consideration: use guidance that is sourced, dated, and designed for
decision-making, not for selling a product.
Why it matters: unclear sources lead to avoidable mistakes, especially in tax,
estate, and legal workflows.
Last reviewed: January 21, 2026.
- We use primary sources whenever possible.
- Time-sensitive guidance is dated and reviewed on a schedule.
- We avoid prescriptive language and focus on evaluation.
If the source is unclear, we do not ship the claim.
Planning guidance is a decision framework tied to sources and deadlines. It
helps you evaluate what matters and coordinate with a professional. It does not
tell you what to file, buy, or execute.
-
Start with a real decision moment. Deadlines, renewals, and review
cycles are the spine of every guide.
-
Anchor claims to sources. Primary sources first. If none exist, we use
reputable secondary references and note the limitations.
-
Convert to a checklist. Every guide ends with a decision checklist and
advisor questions so it can be used in a real meeting.
-
Date and revisit. Time-sensitive guidance is dated and reviewed on a
fixed cadence.
- We cite public sources and official guidance when available.
- We use as-of dates for time-sensitive information.
- We do not publish private or client data.
- Tax and deadline guides are reviewed quarterly.
- Core planning guides are reviewed twice per year.
- When a major law or rule changes, we update within 14 days.
- Advice phrasing such as "you should" or "do this now"
- Predictions about markets or tax outcomes
- Unverified claims about savings or outcomes
- Is the guidance tied to a real source and an as-of date?
- Are the limits and assumptions spelled out?
- Does the guide provide a checklist you can use with your advisor?
- Which primary source should we use for this decision?
- Are any deadlines or thresholds changing this year?
- What would materially change the recommendation?
