Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

One Fight at a Time

Each instance is for one fight or rupture so chronology, emotional impact, and repair commitments stay clear.

Repair-Oriented Review

The practitioner controls completion because the result should support repair rather than simply fill all fields.

Partial Completion

If the discussion escalates or a section is incomplete, the practitioner can pause and save a partial state.

Does this tool decide who caused the fight?

No. It records sequence, impact, bounded contributions, and repair commitments without assigning global blame.

Can partners complete it together?

Yes. The tool supports a shared worksheet experience, with practitioner review and completion control.

What if repair commitments are vague?

The result can be marked as needing refinement rather than treating vague commitments as complete.

What is saved after public exploration?

The tool itself and intentional setup are saved. Fictional fight details, sample entries, and temporary demo notes are not saved as real client data by default.
