When It Is Used

Use it with multiple goals when expected challenge differs and difficulty should be visible during overall interpretation.

What It Captures

The tool captures one practitioner- or team-informed difficulty value per goal and keeps it linked to that goal.

Limits

The tool does not collect client importance values, define attainment levels, score follow-up, or infer difficulty from goal text.

Is there a client-facing view?

No. This tool is practitioner-only, and client entry or approval is not part of the specified product.

Does the system calculate difficulty from the goal text?

No. Difficulty values come from practitioner or team judgment, not automatic inference.

Can this be used with one goal?

It has little standalone value for a single goal because the purpose is relative difficulty across multiple goals.

What is saved?

The tool and selected supported weighting method are saved. Sample goals and demo difficulty values are not saved as real client data.
