FAQs

Answers to the questions people usually ask before they start.

What is Hey Big Sister?

Hey Big Sister is a set of free tools for big life decisions: Property Clarity, Career Clarity and Money Clarity.

Each one asks you a short set of questions, then brings your answers together in a report. The report reflects what you told us, what seems to matter most to you, and where things seem to pull against each other. It also suggests a few small next steps you could try.

You’re always the one who decides.

Is this advice or therapy?

No. Hey Big Sister isn’t financial, legal, real estate, career or mental health advice, and it isn’t therapy or counselling.

It won’t tell you which option is right, whether you can afford something, or what to do with your money. For advice about your own situation, please speak to a qualified professional.

Will the report tell me what to do?

No. It won’t tell you which home to choose, which job to take or what to do with your money.

It sets out what you told us, where your answers seem to pull in different directions, and a few small things you could try. What you do with that is up to you.

Why do you ask for my email?

We ask for your email before you start so we can send you occasional updates about Hey Big Sister and new tools. It’s kept in our mailing list, which is run by Mailchimp.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

What happens to my answers?

You don’t need to create an account. How your answers are handled depends on the tool:

  • Property Clarity: your answers are held only while you use the tool. To help write the “Your Reflection” part of your report, your answers are sent to an AI service (OpenAI).
  • Career Clarity: your answers are held only while you use the tool. Your report is put together from set wording, without AI.
  • Money Clarity: it runs in your own browser, so your answers aren’t sent to us. At the end, an anonymous summary of your answers may be kept to help improve the tool. It never includes your name, email or any financial details, and you can tick a box to leave it out.

We also use simple, anonymous visit counts to see how the site is used.

How long does it take?

Money Clarity takes about 5 minutes and is all multiple choice. Property Clarity and Career Clarity take about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how much you choose to write.

Can I keep my report?

Yes. Your report appears on screen at the end, and you can download a PDF copy.

We don’t email reports at the moment, so please download it if you’d like to keep it.

Does it cost anything?

No. All three tools are free.

Who is it for?

It’s for adults facing a decision about where to live, their work or money, who feel stuck or pulled in different directions.

It isn’t the right fit if you’re looking for market data, financial calculations, or someone to make the decision for you.
