Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Practitioner-Only Use

This configuration has no direct client entry surface. The practitioner records session information and reviews the timeline.

Feeder Memories

If a feeder memory becomes a separate target, it should be explicitly linked or transitioned rather than silently merged into the original target.

Historical Sequence

Edits after later sessions should preserve chronology and avoid rewriting the historical sequence.

Does the tool recommend interventions?

No. It records interventions and trajectory events descriptively; practitioner judgment determines next steps.

Is a missing SUD value invalid?

No. Missing SUD reduces trajectory completeness but does not invalidate other notes.

Can this be used across sessions?

Yes. The trajectory can continue across sessions for the same target.
