Family Move Architecture
20 ADRs capturing and closing a family housing decision. A lifestyle upgrade collides with a 7-figure opportunity cost, a split household, a rejected split-time model, and a funding trilemma. Closing ADRs establish the decision architecture: default stay as the permanent baseline, a six-condition unicorn gate that must be met in full before any move is permitted, three event-driven reopen triggers, a hard ban on time-based review, and non-forced financing as a structural disqualifier.
The question is closed. It reopens only when reality changes.
The current home wins by default. Staying is not a postponed decision; it is the decision.
Every condition must be met in full before any move is permitted. Partial matches do not accumulate.
The question reopens only when reality changes — never on a schedule.
No annual revisits. Calendar time is not evidence.
Any funding path that forces the family's hand is a structural disqualifier, regardless of upside.
Looking continues — as research for the aging-in-place phase, not as shopping.
Rejected alternatives are recorded with the same weight as accepted decisions. The rejection is the record.
Framing notice: This case study is an illustrative demonstration of the YY Method™ Home Edition applied to a real-world problem. Numbers are approximate and generalized. Math is illustrative only. Nothing here constitutes financial, tax, legal, or professional advice of any kind. Consult qualified professionals before making any decisions.
Disclosure posture (C5-011): The reasoning structure and constraint hierarchy are preserved at full fidelity. Identifying details — family composition, specific financial figures, and personal network references — are abstracted. The method is the subject. The family is not.
