How MuseVest Works

A detailed look at our five-step process for building financial stability around volatile creator income. Planning before portfolios. Survival before optimization.

Step 01
AI Risk Analysis
Week 1 — Understanding Your Financial Reality

Connect your accounts securely through Plaid (read-only access). Our proprietary AI Risk Engine analyzes 12-24 months of your financial history to calculate metrics traditional advisors never measure.

Income Volatility Ratio (σ/μ)

Measures how much your income fluctuates month-to-month

Seasonal Concentration Score

Identifies revenue patterns and peak earning periods

Platform Dependence Index

Assesses concentration risk across income sources

Behavioral Fragility Score

Evaluates spending patterns relative to income swings


Step 02
Tier Assignment
Your Personalized Risk Profile

Based on your AI analysis, you're assigned to one of four tiers. Each tier has specific portfolio allocations and planning strategies optimized for your income volatility pattern.

Tier 1: Foundation

For high volatility creators needing maximum stability

60% Bonds, 25% Cash, 15% Equity

Tier 2: Stability

For moderate volatility with growing runway

45% Bonds, 20% Cash, 35% Equity

Tier 3: Growth

For lower volatility with established reserves

25% Bonds, 15% Cash, 60% Equity

Tier 4: Optimization

For stable income with robust financial infrastructure

15% Bonds, 10% Cash, 75% Equity

Step 03
Survival Planning
Week 2 — Building Your Financial Foundation

Before any investing, we engineer your complete financial survival infrastructure. This is what separates MuseVest from traditional advisors who skip straight to portfolios.

Runway Engineering

12-18 month emergency reserves (not the standard 3-6 months that fails creators)

Tax Buffer System

Automated 35% reserve allocation for quarterly estimated payments

Liquidity Ladder

6-tier cash allocation system optimizing accessibility vs. returns

Scenario Planning

Stress-tested models for 50%, 70%, and 90% income drops


Step 04
Behavioral Guardrails
Automated Protection Against Emotional Decisions

High-income months trigger lifestyle inflation. Low-income months create panic. Our automated behavioral intervention systems prevent wealth destruction before it happens.

Spending Alerts

Notifications when monthly expenses exceed 20%+ of your average

Withdrawal Friction

24-hour mandatory wait for large withdrawals with impact visualization

Income Smoothing

Automatic surplus allocation (tax, runway, bonus) during high-earning months

Crisis Mode

Activated if runway drops below 3 months—spending freeze protocols engaged


Step 05
Portfolio Implementation
Week 3+ — Growth Aligned With Reality

Only after your survival systems are operational do we implement tier-appropriate investment strategies. Your portfolio is calibrated to your actual income pattern, not a generic risk questionnaire.
