What It Does Not Do
The tool does not rank choices automatically or predict outcomes beyond what the practitioner and learner enter.
Does the system choose the best option?
No. The system only organizes the comparison; the practitioner or learner must mark any selected next action.
Can consequences be uncertain?
Yes. Likely consequences can be marked unsure and preserved as unresolved.
Can the comparison be saved without a selected action?
Yes. It can remain a comparison-only draft or be reviewed without selection when that reflects the session.
