Why I moved Portfolio Value to the background and put a Health Score in the spotlight

I recently realized that for my users, seeing a large bank balance is not enough to stop the Retirement Anxiety. A number like $1.2M is static and does not account for 2026 market volatility.

I just shipped a major UI pivot for WealthLogic:

  • The Hero Section: I added a Portfolio Health Score (1-10) as the most prominent section. It is a weighted grade based on SWR safety, Monte Carlo resilience, and income-to-expense ratios.

  • The Data Section: I moved the raw Portfolio Value and asset breakdown to a secondary section.

  • The Why: Users now get an immediate diagnosis (e.g., 8.4/10 - On Track) before they even look at their balance.

By leading with the score instead of the sum, the app now provides a Financial Audit rather than just a Net Worth Tracker.

Technical Note: I am optimizing the shareable mobile reports now. 75% of my users are on mobile, and I want them to be able to share their 9/10 health status directly to FIRE communities.

Fellow builders: How are you balancing data density vs actionable insights in your dashboards?
