Practitioner And Client Roles
The practitioner creates and edits the formal record; the client can help name parts, clarify roles, and describe relationships during collaborative work.
Map parts, roles, and relationships in one shared view
Parts Table / Seat-at-the-Table Map is an IFS-oriented internal-system mapping tool for practitioners and clients. It helps them distinguish key parts, capture roles or positions, show important relationships, and decide what part or relationship may need attention next.

Longitudinal Use
The same map can be reopened later, updated as new parts emerge, and compared over time while preserving earlier labels and relationships.
Limitations
The tool does not infer hidden parts, assign archetypes, score severity, or automatically decide which part should be addressed next.
Can the map start with only one part?
Yes. A one-part map can be saved as provisional, with relationships marked as not yet available.
Are table view and seat-at-the-table view different tools?
No. They are two representations of the same parts, role notes, and relationship links.
Does the tool decide which part to work with next?
No. The practitioner can add a next-focus note, but the tool does not automatically sequence parts work.
