What It Organizes
The tool organizes behavior descriptions, contexts, antecedents, setting conditions, consequences, and plausible functions to test.
Important Limits
Indirect information remains preliminary. The tool does not confirm behavioral function, prescribe intervention, or supply standardized prompt wording.
Who answers the interview questions?
An informant who has observed the behavior contributes responses while the practitioner guides and controls the interview record.
Does the tool confirm the behavior function?
No. It organizes reports into preliminary hypotheses that need testing or verification through further data collection.
Can conflicting informant reports be entered?
Yes. Conflicting reports should be preserved side by side rather than resolved by the system.
Are exact interview prompts included?
No. The product supports section structure; exact prompt wording is unresolved unless supplied by practitioner protocol or future validated content design.
