Sample input
The meeting is tomorrow by video. My client asked to sell all holdings after a sharp market decline. The client said, "I can't lose what took me 30 years to save."

Possible support for a parent is the only new planning issue, but the amount is unknown. I have this week's approved firm update. Any move outside the model range requires principal review.
