Redikhet 5.6 release - New Dashboard and Buffer Strength charts plus a new snapshot comparison feature.
Besides some less visible restructuring, release 5.6 brings three main changes: a new dashboard, a more useful measure of financial buffer strength, and snapshot comparisons that show both what changed in your plan and how the results differ.
New dashboard chart
Until now, most feedback from a Redikhet forecast was presented through charts. The idea behind that is simple: a picture often tells you more than a single number.
But charts can also become overwhelming, especially when you're new to the app or just want to know whether a plan looks healthy.
The chart family therefore now includes a dashboard that brings several important outcomes together in one view. It gives you a quick indication of how successful and robust the plan appears, and where it may need attention.
The metrics cover things such as the probability of completing the plan successfully, financial headroom, and potential weaknesses. They help you decide which underlying charts deserve a closer look.
Each metric is explained through the dashboard’s info button, including how to interpret it.
From buying power to buffer strength
As I described in an earlier post, the buying-power chart has been replaced by a buffer-strength chart.
The main difference is its perspective. The old chart compared the future with your starting position. The new chart assesses the financial buffer afresh in every simulated year: how many years of future net cash requirements could the capital available at that point cover?
That makes it easier to see when a comfortable buffer begins to weaken, even if the plan started from a strong position. Future requirements include inflation, so the measure reflects the spending needs ahead at each point in the forecast.
The familiar visual structure remains, including the colour bands. Those bands now represent levels of coverage, ranging from Exposed at less than five years to Independent at 25 years or more.
This change grew out of the work on the dashboard. Both views now use a measure of buffer strength that can be interpreted consistently throughout the plan.
Snapshot comparison
The third change makes snapshots more useful for understanding how your plan evolves.
From 5.6 onward, every new snapshot freezes the complete household plan that produced the result. The calculated chart data and the assumptions behind it are stored together, from the same calculation run.
As before, you can pin one snapshot as the baseline and select another. Pressing the header now opens a comparison sheet showing the differences between the two plans.
The sheet focuses on assumptions that actually changed. Showing the complete plan on both sides would quickly become difficult to read, so unchanged details are left out. This helps you spot differences in pension dates, costs, assets, income, or other assumptions that may explain a different outcome.
Alongside those changes, the comparison shows the same key metrics used in the dashboard. You can see what you adjusted and whether the resulting forecast looks stronger or more vulnerable.
The main purpose of snapshots remains the same: to see whether your financial plan stays on track over the long term. Having the assumptions and results together makes it easier to understand why the outlook changed, without relying on memory or separate notes.
Together, these changes should make the forecast easier to read: a dashboard for the overview, buffer strength for a closer look at financial resilience over time, and snapshot comparison for understanding the differences between plans.
