Do not wait on a transit for
- Medical emergencies and acute mental-health crisis — local emergency services, not this house. CapSage is not a clinic and not a crisis line.
- Legal deadlines, court dates, immigration windows.

- Professional financial decisions where evidence, contracts, and advisers exist. This is not financial advice.
