1 | Use cut-off bands to build a Safe/Target/Reach mix

If you only pick “targets”, a single tough year can leave you with no realistic buffer. Instead:

• keep at least 1–2 choices that are clearly safer for your net score
• include targets that match your preference
• add reaches only if you can accept the risk
