When it is used

Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What it captures
The tool captures target problems, mapped influences, domain assignments, relationship descriptions, protective or risk-maintaining distinctions, unresolved unknowns, and selected intervention targets.
Important limitation
The map organizes practitioner formulation. It does not calculate risk, prove causality, recommend interventions, or collect exhaustive social history unrelated to target problems.
Can the domain labels be customized?
No. The tool uses the fixed family, peer, school, and community domains defined by the product specification.
Is there a family or client view?
No. This product is practitioner-only; information from others may inform the map outside the product workflow.
Does the system recommend intervention targets?
No. The practitioner identifies actionable targets; the system organizes and displays them.
What if one domain has no known information?
The domain can remain empty. Unknown information should not be forced or guessed.
