When It Is Used

What It Captures
The tool captures places, approximate chronology, associated people and supports, community links, uncertainty markers, gaps, and follow-up notes.
Important Limits
The tool does not require exact dates or addresses and does not perform identity matching, safety assessment, or automated suitability review.
Does Mobility Mapping require a complete timeline?
No. Approximate dates, partial place names, unknown periods, and uncertain memories are supported.
What is the main result?
The main result is an ordered place history with attached people, supports, community links, gaps, and plausible follow-up leads.
Can sample demo history be saved as a real client record?
No. Saving preserves the tool and setup, not fictional demo places, people, or exploratory lead content as real client data.
