Incomplete Information Is Expected
Unknown names, uncertain relationships, incomplete events, and conflicting reports can be marked without forcing the map to appear finished.

Practitioner Interpretation Remains Separate
The system organizes the visual structure. Systems hypotheses and clinical interpretation remain practitioner-authored.
Is this a generic genealogy tool?
No. It is a Bowen-oriented practitioner tool for clinical, coaching, or training inquiry, not a genealogy product.
Can the diagram be incomplete?
Yes. Incomplete diagrams can still guide further inquiry, and unknowns should remain visible.
Does the tool interpret the family system?
No. It lays out members, relationships, events, and patterns; hypotheses remain practitioner-authored.
What is saved into my account?
The Family Diagram / Bowen Family Diagram tool and intentional scope setup are saved. Demo family content is not saved as real client data.
