Practitioner Authorship
The hypothesis is authored by the practitioner. The product can show missing elements and evidence links, but it does not write unsupported function conclusions.
Hypothesis Statement
Hypothesis Statement is a practitioner-only FBA synthesis tool for practitioners and FBA team members. It helps them record a practitioner-authored explanation that names the target behavior and context, connects antecedent and consequence findings, proposes a likely function, and keeps supporting evidence visible.
Build a sample draft hypothesis and review completeness and evidence alignment.

Evidence Alignment
Each component can be linked to available assessment data so the team can see what supports the statement.
Limits
The tool does not collect the full FBA from scratch, conduct functional analysis, author a BIP, or confirm the hypothesis.
Does the tool automatically determine the function?
No. The practitioner enters the likely function; the tool shows components and evidence alignment.
Can I finalize a hypothesis with missing components?
A missing target behavior prevents a valid statement, and missing antecedent, consequence, or function components should leave the hypothesis incomplete.
Does this create an intervention plan?
No. The natural next step may be intervention selection or BIP development, but this tool only records the hypothesis statement.
Can evidence conflicts be shown?
Yes. Conflicting evidence should remain visible rather than being hidden or resolved automatically.
