Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Evidence Matters
The profile keeps clinical support visible so a generic theme is not treated as a supported conflict without practitioner evidence.
Important Limits
It does not auto-detect conflicts, infer unconscious meaning, supply unsupported conflict taxonomies, or generate treatment plans.
Does the tool identify conflicts automatically?
No. Conflict formulation and priority are practitioner-entered.
Can more than one conflict be recorded?
Yes. Multiple supported patterns can be recorded with practitioner-entered priority where supported.
What if the evidence is weak?
The profile can mark a conflict as tentative, uncertain, or not assessed rather than treating it as supported.
What carries over after saving?
The tool and selected configuration carry over; fictional demo conflict material does not become real client data.
