Family office decision score: the EQOS Asia reading of nine dimensions

What is the EQOS Asia family office decision score?

The decision score is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses how well a family decision holds together. EQOS Asia derives it from the φ_personal equation, calibrated for individual and family decisions, and applies it whether the family lives in Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai or Bangkok (EQOS Asia private page, 2026).

For a family office, the decision is concrete: set up an office, delay it, choose a lighter route or restructure an existing one. The score gives the family a common language for that choice, so each member can say which part of the decision holds and which part needs work.

How does the score turn a family office question into a number?

The reading follows 3 stages. The family states the decision in one sentence, the decision is rated on each of the 9 dimensions, and the ratings combine into a normalized result between 0 and 1. The exact form of the combination is proprietary and confidential, while the stages are public.

Stating the decision in one sentence is the step that matters most. A decision such as set up a Singapore office for 12 assets and 4 heirs rates differently from the general wish to be better organized. A precise sentence produces a precise score, and it also clarifies what the family is asking.

Which 9 dimensions make up the decision score?

The 9 dimensions cover the whole decision: coherence of values and action, sustainability of the financial capacity, resonance of the emotional impact, care for consequences on others, trust in the context and commitments, transparency of information, clarity of objectives and steps, stability against adverse scenarios, and energy to carry the decision through (EQOS Asia private page, 2026).

Each dimension asks a different question about the same office. The guide on the life dimensions of a family decision takes them one by one and shows a family office example for each. Reading all 9 broadens a decision beyond money alone.

What does the 0.618 threshold mean for a family office decision?

A score above 0.618 marks a viable decision, and the value is the inverse of the golden ratio of 1.618, which EQOS Asia uses as its harmony constant (EQOS Asia private page, 2026). The scale runs from 0, the stop zone, to 1, the OK zone. The threshold gives the family a line to discuss.

The guide on the viability threshold of a family decision explains the meaning of the line, the zones around it and how a family reacts to a score just below or just above it. The threshold works as a signal for action, and the family keeps the final choice.

Which family office questions suit a decision score?

The score suits a choice with real alternatives and real consequences. Typical family office questions include whether to set up an office, how to sequence a succession across heirs, how to organize a multi-currency portfolio and when to relocate the family. EQOS Asia lists 8 typical private cases, among them succession and wealth transfer and portfolio decisions (EQOS Asia private page, 2026).

Each question is scored on its own. A family can score the structure decision, then the timing decision, then the succession decision, and compare the 3 results. The comparison shows which choice is ready now and which needs more preparation, so the family sequences its work by readiness.

What should a family read first in a score result?

Read the total first, then the weakest dimensions. A total above 0.618 with a low rating on transparency, for example, suggests gathering information before signing. A total below 0.618 with a high rating on energy suggests the family wants to act while the decision still needs preparation.

Rework follows the weakest dimension. Raising clarity can mean writing the objective in 2 sentences, and raising stability can mean testing a downside scenario. After the rework the family scores again, and the new reading shows whether the change was enough.

How can several family members take part in one decision score?

A family decision has several owners, and each member may rate the dimensions differently. Collecting the ratings separately and comparing them shows where the family agrees and where views diverge. A gap on one dimension often points to a conversation the family has been postponing.

Comparing ratings also brings in the quieter voices: a younger heir, a spouse who runs no business, an outside adviser. Each rating carries the same weight in the comparison, which opens a decision that shapes the next generation to the whole family.

Which EQOS Asia format delivers the family office decision score?
