What The ORG Includes

An ORG includes desired role, specific environment, and a 6- to 24-month horizon.

What It Does Not Do

It does not generate the person's goal, infer preference from practitioner notes, assess skills, or prescribe supports.

History

Prior ORG statements are preserved when goals change because later plans depend on which goal was active.

Is the ORG generated by the system?

No. The person supplies the preference content, and the system only structures and checks completeness.

What timeframe is supported?

The ORG uses a 6- to 24-month horizon.

Are role and environment both required?

Yes. The ORG is incomplete without both desired role and specific environment.

Can domains like living or working be hidden?

Yes. Domain prompts can be shown broadly or focused, but the goal still requires role, environment, and timeframe.
