Important Boundary
The tool does not generate alternatives, score workability, or decide that a strategy is unworkable.
Does the tool tell the client what they should accept?
No. Acceptance-oriented alternatives are entered by the practitioner or client and remain part of clinical formulation.
Can a control strategy be recorded as helpful?
Yes. The perceived function can be recorded, along with any costs or limits when they are clear.
Is this a symptom tracker?
No. It is a contrastive ACT process formulation, not a symptom tracker or score-based measure.
