Can caregivers save draft entries?
Yes. Entries can be draft or submitted, allowing quick capture before formal review.
What if the child response is unclear?
The caregiver can mark the response as unknown or not observed instead of inventing one.
Does the tool score adherence?

Can the practitioner change the strategy focus?
