Strategies That Work Together, Not in Isolation

Other planning tools model each strategy in its own silo. Roth conversions in one module. Tax harvesting in another. You become the integration layer, mentally reconciling how they interact. Stratum eliminates that guesswork.

Sequential Pipeline

Each strategy sees the full impact of every strategy before it. Roth conversions that account for your harvesting plan. Withdrawals that reflect your Social Security timing.

Advisor-Controlled Order

You decide which strategies run first. Drag, drop, and reorder to test different sequences and see how the interaction changes the outcome.

Lifetime Tax Burden

Not this year's bill — the whole picture. Sometimes paying more tax now means significantly less over a lifetime. Stratum shows you exactly how much.
