The value of wealth is its ability to fulfill its purpose when it is required.
Purpose establishes the intended function. Without Purpose, there is no objective standard for evaluating Design.
Timing establishes when resources must be capable of fulfilling Purpose.
Financial tools and strategies belong within Design.
Function evaluates whether Design is aligned with Purpose and Timing.

Assets are not trophies. They're tools. A financial resource should be evaluated in the context of the job it is expected to perform.

Why? When? How? Is it functioning? How can it function better?
