In studying Higgs bundles, one is naturally led to consider C*-families of flat connections. One fruitful approach to studying the asymptotic behaviour of such a family is a procedure known as the "exact WKB method", at least for sufficiently generic Higgs bundles. I will describe how these results can be generalized to the most degenerate case of nilpotent Higgs bundles and how this sheds light on a conjecture by Simpson concerning the moduli space of flat connections.
