All Points Intelligence
A structured way to think clearly about relocation decisions — without rushing, guessing or getting lost in endless research.
All Points Intelligence is a decision-support framework for people considering international relocation, residency, or long-term living abroad.
This is not a one-size-fits-all or straight-line process. Some people move step by step. Others jump in where clarity is needed most. What matters is getting the right insight at the right moment.
What This Is
All Points Intelligence is a structured way to think through a major international relocation or long-term living abroad decision — without rushing, guessing or getting lost in research.
It’s designed to help you:
• narrow your options intelligently
• understand how countries actually work in practice
• see how key factors uniquely affect someone with your specific needs and concerns
• make decisions in the right order
The emphasis is on clarity, judgment and doing things in the right order — not volume of information.
You don’t need more tabs open. You need the right next question, answered well.
What This Is Not
This is not a list of “best countries to move to.” It’s not trend-driven content, influencer advice or recycled rankings.
It’s also not a shortcut or a promise that relocation will be simple.
All Points Intelligence doesn’t tell you what should work in theory — it helps you understand what is likely to work in practice, given real-world constraints and tradeoffs.
If you’re looking for hype, shortcuts or one-size-fits-all answers, this won’t be a fit. If you’re looking for calm, reasoned guidance you can actually use, you’re in the right place.
Why Relocation Decisions Go Sideways
Most people don’t struggle with relocating abroad because they’re careless. They struggle because they’re trying to make a complex decision with incomplete — or “out of order” — information.
Common starting points
• Googling “best countries to move to”
• Watching polished videos that skip over tradeoffs
• Comparing cost-of-living tables in isolation
• Reading contradictory forum comments
What’s usually missing
Context — especially how a country’s systems interact with a real person’s life over time.
When decisions are made this way, people often spend months researching countries that were never a fit, fall in love with places that work in theory but poorly in practice, and discover deal-breakers late — after time or money has already been spent.
The Deep Country Comparison Suite
All Points Intelligence is not a one-size-fits-all process. For some people the path is linear. For others it isn’t. What matters is choosing the right tool for the decision moment you’re in — without pressure.
The All Points Intelligence Suite
Four tools. Four kinds of clarity.
Each tool answers a different question. And it all depends on where you are in your decision-making process. You don’t need all four. You need the one that matches the decision you’re making right now.
Country Match
Clarifying where to focus — early.
Country Match reduces noise and identifies a small set of countries truly worth serious consideration for someone just like you. The country that fits you best may not even be on your radar yet. Our job is to place it there.
Deep Country Dive
Understanding whether a country truly fits someone like you.
A Deep Country Dive is not a generic country overview. It’s a focused analysis of how one country tends to work in practice — viewed through the lens of your lifestyle, citizenship, income sources, healthcare needs, and priorities.
Deep Country Comparison
Choosing deliberately between strong options.
When two or three countries all seem viable, decisions often stall — not because the options are bad, but because the differences are hard to see clearly. This tool surfaces the real tradeoffs side-by-side.
Two-country comparison
Ideal when you’re choosing between two serious, viable options.
Three-country comparison
Designed for more complex decisions when three countries meet your baseline criteria.
Tailored Personal Guidebook
Turning a decision into a coherent plan.
This is the most comprehensive offering in All Points Intelligence: a guidebook written specifically for your situation. It integrates legal awareness, financial considerations, healthcare realities, lifestyle planning and sequencing — so decisions made upstream don’t quietly create problems downstream.
How People Typically Use All Points Intelligence
Relocating abroad isn’t a single decision. It’s a sequence of decisions — each affecting finances, health, family life and long-term options.
People arrive with very different circumstances. What matters isn’t starting at the “beginning,” but using the tool that matches the decision you’re facing right now.
Annie
Narrow the field before committing (Focus)
Annie is single, works remotely, and wants to spend part of the year abroad. She’s drawn to Portugal, Spain and France, but doesn’t want to invest months researching countries that were never a realistic fit for her income, lifestyle or tax exposure.
She wants a disciplined way to narrow the field before getting attached to the wrong option.
Roger
Pressure-test one country (Evaluate)
Roger is married and retired. He and his spouse are considering spending most of the year in Mexico, but Roger has ongoing medical needs. Before committing, he wants to understand healthcare access, continuity of care and where friction might appear in day-to-day life.
He’s not looking for reassurance — he wants realism.
David
Choose between strong options (Compare)
David and his partner have narrowed their choices to Portugal and Spain. Both could work, but each has tradeoffs around residency pathways, taxation and long-term flexibility.
David isn’t deciding whether to move abroad. He’s deciding which option creates the fewest constraints over time.
Sarah
Turn complexity into a coherent plan (Plan)
Sarah is married, has children, and recently discovered she may qualify for Irish citizenship through ancestry — something nearly one in ten Americans may be eligible for. At the same time, her family has U.S.-based assets and income that make tax and residency decisions consequential.
She wants everything considered together — citizenship options, residency strategy, schooling, healthcare, and timing — so nothing important gets missed or handled out of order.
All Points Intelligence is built to handle real lives, real constraints, and real-world complexity — even when your situation is unique.

FAQ
Do I have to start with Country Match?
No. Many people start there, but you can enter at any point. If you already have one country in mind, start with a Deep Country Dive. If you’re choosing between strong contenders, Deep Country Comparison may be the fastest path to clarity.
Can I buy multiple Deep Country Dives?
Yes. Each Deep Country Dive focuses on one country at a time. If you want multiple countries analyzed at that depth, you can purchase additional dives.
Is this legal / tax / immigration advice?
No. These are planning and decision-support documents. Where appropriate, we flag areas where professional guidance may be warranted, so your conversations with licensed professionals are targeted, efficient, and informed.

What if my situation doesn’t fit neatly into any of these categories?
