Plan And Review Lifecycle

The plan phase can be complete while outcome review remains pending until the client has tried the action steps.

One Problem At A Time

Each record should focus on one current practical or psychosocial problem. A new problem should use a separate worksheet.

Relevant Limits

The product does not generate solutions, score options, provide domain advice, or infer clinical outcomes.

Does the tool choose the best solution?

No. The client and practitioner choose the solution. The product structures options, evaluations, and action planning.

Can outcome review happen later?

Yes. Outcome review can remain pending until after the action steps have been tried.

What if only one solution is generated?

The comparison step remains incomplete unless the practitioner marks that as sufficient. The standard flow asks for multiple possible solutions before selection.

Can vague problems be entered?

A vague problem can be saved as partial, but the product should prompt for a more specific actionable statement before the plan is complete.
