FAQ
Direct answers, because planning friction gets worse when the language gets softer.
Is this only for people deep into anniversary event planning?
No. It is strongest when the task has already started to feel slightly larger than it should.
Do I need exact numbers?
Reasonably honest numbers are enough to start. The tool is there to remove fog, not demand perfection.
Why two tools instead of one?
Because one answer on its own can flatter you. A second tool usually reveals whether the first answer survives contact with reality.
What usually goes wrong first?
Most often, the middle. The beginning is exciting enough to carry itself. The middle is where vague assumptions start sending invoices.
Can I use this on mobile?
Yes. The layout is built to collapse cleanly on smaller screens.
Why no account?
Because a planning tool should feel as easy to reopen as a notebook, not as slow as an admin portal.
