I like the idea, but I think I still prefer this article: https://blog.lopp.net/how-to-back-up-a-seed-phrase/

It's essentially a detailed comparison of the standardised options that a bitcoiner has. It doesn't touch custom solutions, which is good because most of the times, a custom solution is dangerous.

I think the article addresses topics that are downstream of what the quiz is trying to solve. The best way to secure and backup a seed phrase is greatly influenced by one's setup. The ideal setup in turn is a reflection of their comfort with levels of risk and responsibility, technical ability, privacy preferences, and even inheritance considerations.

For example, someone using a single-signature Coldcard setup faces different seed storage, backup and single-point-of-failure considerations compared to someone using a 2-of-3 multisig setup with Casa. Their security assumptions and threat models are not the same.

The quiz doesn’t aim to recommend custom solutions. My goal with the quiz is to help people discover what type of setup might best suit them. Is a collaborative custody model like Lopp's Casa appropriate given their needs, or are their privacy needs such that any third-party involvement is a dealbreaker.

WouldI'd be keen to hear your feedbackthoughts on whether you think that the Custody Model Quiz helps with help guide users in that direction?
