Repeat Use
The inventory can persist as a reference and can be added to later without overwriting prior entries.
Important Limits
The tool does not rank successes, infer traits, score strengths, or prescribe practice steps.
Does the inventory score a client's strengths?
No. It captures client-reported examples and organizes them descriptively without scores or trait labels.
Can the client complete this between sessions?
Yes. The supported configuration is ready to send, and live completion can be used when the platform workflow supports it.
What counts as a complete inventory?
At least one usable past success connected to the current concern or preferred future is needed; exact minimum entry requirements require validation.
