Getting Started
This guide explains how to start using GetProa with the right expectations and flow.
Before You Begin
GetProa works best when you treat it as a decision system, not a collection of isolated tools.
Prepare these inputs first:
- Your current portfolio context (wallets, risk horizon, priorities)
- Your monthly cashflow baseline
- A clear question you want to answer this week
Access and Permissions
Some modules are public, while others require authentication and specific access groups.
| Area | Access |
|---|---|
| Documentation | Public |
| Investments | Authenticated + module access |
| Budget | Authenticated + module access |
| Assistant | Authenticated + Proa AI enabled in Settings |
| Reports | Authenticated |
If a module is not available in your account, that is expected behavior based on access policy.
First Session Playbook
Step 1: Start with a concrete question
Examples:
- "Am I over-allocating capital in one bucket?"
- "Where is monthly execution breaking?"
- "What evidence do I need before changing direction?"
Step 2: Use one module with intent
- Use Investments for portfolio structure decisions
- Use Budget for monthly execution discipline
- Use Assistant to ask grounded questions across enabled Proa data
- Use Reports to review prior decision context
Step 3: Enable Proa AI only when you want grounded chat
If you use Assistant:
- Open Settings in the app
- Enable Proa AI
- Choose whether Assistant may read Budget, Investments, Reports, or a smaller set
- Ask one review question at a time
Examples:
- "Review Budget and Investments together before I make a decision."
- "What should I inspect before closing this month?"
- "Which report should I revisit before changing allocation?"
Step 4: Save decision artifacts
When available, preserve outputs in Reports so your next cycle starts from evidence, not memory.
Behavioral Rules That Keep Results Stable
- Keep one main objective per cycle
- Do not optimize every variable at once
- Prefer repeatable routines over reactive changes
- Revisit previous reports before changing direction
Common Setup Mistakes
- Starting in a restricted module without required access
- Using tools without a defined decision question
- Treating weekly noise as structural signal
- Ignoring report history when planning next actions
- Asking Assistant to make financial decisions instead of reviewing your data
Where to Go Next
- Build structure in Investments
- Tighten monthly process in Budget
- Ask grounded questions in Assistant
- Revisit previous context in Reports
- Review common concerns in FAQ
