Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Incomplete Timepoints
If either baseline or follow-up is incomplete, the tool shows partial status and withholds final change conclusions.
Limits
The tool does not make causal claims, define treatment success, or generate clinical recommendations.
Can I compare different measures or versions?
No, not as a valid before/after comparison. Non-comparable measures or versions are blocked or clearly marked.
Does the tool prove an intervention caused improvement?
No. It shows descriptive change between comparable timepoints; causal meaning is practitioner interpretation.
What if follow-up data is missing?
The comparison remains incomplete and no final change summary is shown.
Can decline be shown?
Yes. Decline is displayed neutrally as a change direction when supported by the comparable data.
