Score Integrity

Items, response options, scoring rules, and report formats must follow source-defined instrument materials. The product must not modify them.

Five Domains

The supported domains are cognitive, social, emotional, spiritual/philosophical, and physical coping resources.

Partial Administrations

Partial responses can be resumed, but final scoring is blocked or handled only according to source-defined rules.

Can the demo show real CRI items?

Only if source-defined item materials are available. The public demo should not invent item text or response options.

Does the tool create custom coping scores?

No. Scores and reports must follow the CRI's source-defined scoring and interpretation rules.

Can it support group reports?

Yes, where the instrument supports group reporting and the report rules are available.

What is saved if scoring rules are unavailable?

The CRI tool and selected administration/report context are saved; fictional responses and placeholder scores are not saved as client data.
