Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Repeat Use
Dated assignments can show which categories have been practiced over time without producing a mastery score.
Practitioner Review
Review focuses on attempted items, client wording, skipped items, and where further Describe practice may be useful.
Can I create my own exercise categories in this tool?
No. The tool uses a fixed Describe-specific preset once source wording and categories are validated.
Does the result score the client's Describe skill?
No. It shows completion, category coverage, and client descriptions for practitioner review.
Can clients mark an assigned item as not attempted?
Yes. Unattempted or skipped items remain visible in review instead of being coerced into completion.
What saves from the demo?
The practice preset, selected exercises, assignment mode, and setup save; fictional checklist responses do not.
