Filtering Without Data Loss
Relationship-type filters reduce visual density while preserving the underlying practitioner-entered map.
What It Does Not Do
The tool does not automatically detect coalitions, score relationship health, or prescribe a restructuring plan.
Does the tool identify problematic coalitions automatically?
No. Problematic coalition labels are practitioner-entered; the system organizes and displays them.
Can one relationship have more than one alignment type?
Yes. Multiple relationship patterns between the same members should be supported when clinically meaningful.
Do visibility filters delete map data?
No. Filters only change what is visible in the review; the underlying relationship entries remain unchanged.
Is there a client view?
No. Alliance / Coalition Map is practitioner-only.
