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 one client-informed importance value per goal and keeps each value linked to its goal.
Limits
The tool does not capture goal difficulty, define attainment levels, score follow-up, or infer priority from goal content.
Is this useful for a single goal?
Usually not. Importance weighting has little standalone value when there is only one goal.
Who provides the importance value?
The value is client-informed; the practitioner records the client's view of relative priority.
Does the tool define the weighting scale?
No. The exact scale or method remains unresolved unless supplied by the surrounding GAS workflow.
What is saved?
The tool and selected supported weighting method are saved. Sample goals and demo importance values are not saved as real client data.
