The easiest way to retain gold next year is to qualify for platinum, thanks to the soft landing scheme where you only drop one level if you don't re-qualify for whatever level you were.

Well indeed, but I really wanted my qualifications year to begin on 1st January. I find it so much easier to handle it that way. My BA qualification ends on 8th October each year and I’ve never really been able to manage that FFP in the same way I’ve managed the others. But I don’t particularly intend to do much with BA any more going forward.
