When you launch the sandbox you have to select some kind of template (the implications I think aren't completely clear at that stage, I understand better now). If you're in the UK, there are two options, described as (from memory) 'early career with a pension and some savings' and 'mid-career with a defined benefit pension'.
It just doesn't really make sense as a coupling, if I'm early career with a DB pension or mid-career with DC it's not clear which is the better pick or how much it matters. As far as I can tell having selected one and played with it just briefly, it doesn't matter at all because all it does is set some numbers you can change anyway, there's no built-in knowledge/logic of specific country pension schemes or tax treatments?
My intent with the sandbox was just to make it easy for folks to quickly hop into the tool and get a sense for what you can do with it, without the friction of needing to go through the full onboarding process and dig up a bunch of numbers to plug in... the idea being that if you want to give it a real try with a more tailored scenario, you'd typically start over and do the normal onboarding flow.
Does that help clarify? And/or do you feel like a different approach for the sandbox would have been better?
I would just remove reference to defined benefit pension, it doesn't really make sense & isn't important. Afaict nothing else needs to change, it's just confusing copy.
Interesting, so you would recommend keeping the floating tour widgets? Some other commenters found those obtrusive... er, I guess "useless" was the precise word haha.
