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 fit points, mismatch points, occupation-specific reasoning, unresolved questions, and implications for continuing, narrowing, or revising exploration.
Comparison Behavior
Multiple occupations can be compared side by side without automatically ranking them.
Important Limits
The tool does not administer an interest assessment, generate broad occupation lists, evaluate qualifications, or make final career decisions.
Can the review be completed without interest data?
No. An interest-based fit review requires client vocational interest themes or results.
What if no mismatch is identified for an occupation?
That can be recorded only as a practitioner-confirmed state, because important mismatches should not be ignored.
Does the tool rank occupations automatically?
No. The review compares fit and mismatch reasoning without forcing an unsupported ranking.
Can the client contribute reactions?
Yes. When completed together, client reactions can inform the discussion, while the practitioner controls the formal review.
