What Asset Allocation Visualizer does, with a checked example
Enter your holdings by asset class and a dollar amount or percentage, and the tool totals them into a pie chart or treemap, derives a weighted risk score from preset per-class risk factors, and lets you diff the resulting mix against a model portfolio. Switching between pie and treemap doesn't change the numbers, only how concentration reads visually - a treemap makes a dominant class obvious in a way a pie wedge can hide. The most common surprise: the risk score reflects the preset weight this tool assigns to each asset class, not the historical volatility or correlation of your actual holdings.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Stocks: $60,000; Bonds: $30,000; Cash: $5,000; Real Estate: $5,000
->
Expected output
Four slices/rectangles: Stocks 60%, Bonds 30%, Cash 5%, Real Estate 5%, on a total of $100,000, with Stocks as the largest area on the chart.
Each class's share is its value divided by the $100,000 total ($60,000/$100,000 = 60%, and so on), so the chart areas are proportional to the dollar amounts entered, not to any external benchmark.
