What It Captures
The profile can capture selected patterns, linked alternatives, examples, recognition differences, clinician notes, and coaching priorities.
Important Limits
The tool does not score severity, allocate blame, diagnose either partner, or invent pattern definitions or antidote content.
Is this completed by one partner alone?
No. The represented configuration is ready to complete together with clinician guidance.
Does the profile assign blame?
No. The experience should show both partners' contributions without ranking fault or creating a blame record.
Can I edit the antidote links?
No. The represented pattern-to-antidote links are fixed by the material; exact content requires validation.
