## Getting started with goal planning

<Steps>
  ### Profile your client's risk appetite

  Send the built-in risk questionnaire to your client via email or WhatsApp. Atlas generates a risk score and recommends an asset allocation across equity, debt, and hybrid categories.

  ### Define financial goals

  Work with your client to add goals — retirement, education, home purchase, or custom milestones. Set the target amount, time horizon, and current savings for each goal.

  ### Generate the investment plan

  Atlas calculates the recommended monthly SIP for each goal based on the risk profile, time horizon, and expected returns. Adjust assumptions, model scenarios, and finalize the plan.

  ### Track and rebalance

  Once the plan is active, Atlas monitors portfolio performance against goals. You'll receive alerts for SIP gaps, portfolio drift, and rebalancing opportunities — keeping every plan on track.
