What does this actually produce?

An allocation rationale — how a mix across equities, fixed income, alternatives and cash follows from your time horizon, risk tolerance and inflation expectations. It is a structure for thinking through a decision, not a recommendation to buy any particular thing.

Why does it weigh real returns rather than nominal ones?

Because six per cent with five per cent inflation is one per cent. Making the distinction explicit means the allocation gets judged against purchasing power, which is the only version of the number that changes what you can afford later.

Can I rely on this for real investment decisions?

No. It is a reasoning aid, not advice. A model knows nothing about your circumstances or tax position, has no live market data, and will state outdated figures with complete confidence. Use it to arrive at better questions for a qualified adviser.
