Decision-making
How Bob decides
what to recommend
Bob weighs your income, dependants, debts and worries against what each cover actually does, then drafts a recommendation with the reasoning attached, including what it leaves out. It never sets the price; an adviser does.
Why this recommendation
Replaces ~80% of income if illness stops work
4-week wait keeps the premium affordable
Runs to age 65, your working life
Not included: accidents (ACC covers those) and life cover.
How the reasoning runs
Needs first, product second
The worry drives the cover, not a sales target.
Accounts for ACC
So you're not paying twice for cover you already have.
Always names exclusions
What it leaves out is stated plainly, before you decide.
