From investor profile to advisor action.

FIPI® maps how your clients actually think, decide, and react under pressure. Pulse converts each behavioral profile into communication guidance, portfolio context, and follow-up workflows — from one advisor platform.

Four behavioral dimensions. One complete investor picture.

FIPI® measures Zeal, Inhibition, Swag, and Conventionality — the dimensions that reveal how a client actually behaves, not just what they say they prefer.

FIPIⓇ behavioral scan

Pulse scans for four core traits as profiles come into focus.

As advisors move through setup and profile review, Pulse makes Zeal, Inhibition, Swag, and Conventionality easier to see, explain, and apply.

Drive and engagement energy.

Zeal

How actively an investor pursues financial goals — and how much momentum they expect from the advisory relationship.

High: Wants frequent touchpoints and rapid follow-through.Low: Open to creative strategy. Resists over-structure or rigid process.

Caution and risk sensitivity.

Inhibition

How much uncertainty a client can tolerate before pulling back, disengaging, or second-guessing decisions already made.

High: Needs structured reassurance and downside framing before moving.Low: Prefers space to process; can disengage if pace feels relentless.

Confidence and decisiveness.

Swag

How strongly a client trusts their own judgment and how readily they act on — or push back against — advisor recommendations.

High: Self-directed, evidence-driven. Responds to data, not persuasion.Low: Comfortable with risk; over-managed framing can feel patronizing.

Deference to authority.

Conventionality

Comfort with established frameworks vs. openness to exploratory or non-traditional approaches to investing.

High: Wants clear process, structured updates, and familiar frameworks.Low: Seeks validation before acting. Benefits from advisor-led framing.

Every investor maps to a behavioral profile.

FIPI® produces nine distinct archetypes from the four dimensions. Each one tells an advisor how that client communicates, decides, and behaves when markets move.

Pulse in practice

Profile to coaching. Before the meeting starts.

When a Rainmaker completes FIPI®, Pulse converts the behavioral profile into communication guidance, objection prep, and a coaching framework — before the advisor walks into the room.

Communication

Use structured monthly summaries. Values framing and social impact context land well.

Cadence

Monthly is right. Avoid frequent check-ins — urgency language triggers withdrawal.

Framing

Lead with values alignment, not performance. ESG and impact framing resonates.

Watch for

Tracy Complacency. Review loops can become avoidance. Name the delay and reframe it as a decision point.

Behavioral signals. Built into every client interaction.

Every completed FIPI® profile generates a set of advisor-facing signals — specific, actionable context the advisor can apply before, during, and after the client conversation.

Communication Cadence

Matched to Zeal level.

High Zeal clients expect frequent, momentum-driven touchpoints. Low Zeal clients need space — over-contact triggers disengagement.

Tone Guidance

Balanced from Inhibition and Swag.

High Inhibition + Low Swag signals reassurance-first framing. High Swag requires evidence-led positioning — persuasion feels patronizing.

Volatility Coaching

Pre-built for the profile archetype.

Each archetype reacts to market movement differently. Pulse surfaces the expected reaction pattern and the advisor response that works for that profile.

Meeting Prep

Behavioral context before the conversation.

What matters to this client, what to avoid, and what language frames are most likely to land — pulled from the profile before the advisor walks in.

Primary Foe Watchout

Named behavioral bias per archetype.

Each profile carries a primary behavioral tendency that works against the client's own goals. Pulse names it and tells the advisor how to address it directly.

Objection Prep

Generated from Foe and trait context.

The likely objection pattern for this client — and the framing that resolves it. Specific enough to use in the room, not a generic script.

From survey completion to client-ready next steps.

Profile first. Review second. Guide the conversation. Then act across planning, alerts, and CRM follow-up.

Stage 01

Launch the branded discovery workflow.

Start from the advisor dashboard, send the FIPI® experience, and keep invites, completions, and client status visible from one operating surface.
