Partial States

The tool supports planned but not attempted, attempted with outcome incomplete, and completed experiment states because behavioral experiments occur in real life.

What It Compares

The review compares the original prediction with the actual outcome and shows before-after distress or belief ratings according to the configured rating focus.

Relevant Limits

The product does not generate experiment plans, infer belief validity, label success or failure clinically, or add exposure hierarchy functionality.

Does the tool create behavioral experiment ideas?

No. The practitioner and client design the experiment. The product structures the plan, outcome, ratings, and learning.

Can an experiment stay pending?

Yes. A planned experiment can remain pending until the client carries out the real-world test and records outcome fields.

What rating options are supported?

The practitioner can configure distress rating, belief-strength rating, or both as the rating focus.

Does the result say whether the belief was disproven?

No. The result shows prediction, outcome, rating changes, and learning descriptively. Clinical interpretation remains practitioner-led.
