What It Does Not Do
The progress tool does not collect new assessment responses or create new assessment content.
Relevant Limitations
Trajectory views depend on comparable source-defined assessment outputs. Non-comparable assessments must be shown with explicit limitations rather than merged into a misleading trend.
Can this tool be used with one assessment?
Yes, but it cannot show a trajectory with fewer than two comparable assessments; it can only show available snapshot history.
Does the tool collect new Communication Matrix responses?
No. It reviews prior Communication Matrix assessments and does not collect new assessment responses.
Can non-comparable assessments be displayed?
Yes. They can be displayed, but the limitation must be explicit and they should not be merged into a trend.
Who uses this tool?
The practitioner uses this practitioner-only tool for longitudinal intervention review.
