Which statement best describes the Goal Metric on Foundational Planning?

• A. takes into account all goals within the client's cash flow projection
• B. focus on selected goal and ignore success/failure of other client goals
• C. focus on the selected goal and ignore the success/failure of other client goals
• D. ignores goal performance entirely

Answer: (C)

The Goal Metric isolates a single objective and measures its progress without letting the outcomes of other goals influence that measurement. In Foundational Planning, you select one goal and track how likely it is to be achieved based on the current plan, treating other goals as not changing that assessment. This focused view lets you see whether the plan is on track for that particular goal, even if other goals are uncertain or not yet achieved. The other goals aren’t averaged into this metric and their success or failure doesn’t alter its result, which is why this approach best describes the Goal Metric.
