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 form captures treatment-priority links, desired life changes, measurable goals, concrete actions, and reviewable progress state where entered.

Incomplete Items

A goal without an action, or an action without a linked goal or priority, should remain visible for review and revision.

Important Limits

The tool does not invent action steps, calculate progress scores, or interpret progress automatically.

Does the form generate action steps?

No. Actions are entered by the practitioner and client; the system organizes and links them.

Can a goal be saved without an action?

A goal without an action can be shown as incomplete for review and revision.

How is progress assessed?

Progress is assessed over time against reviewable goal-action entries; unsupported measures or interpretations are not added by the system.

Are sample goals saved?

No. Saving keeps the fixed tool; fictional demo goals and actions do not become real client data.
