Multiple voices

The tool can preserve multiple examples and participant voices without forcing a single synthesis.

Partial discovery

An interview can remain partial when experiences are captured but strengths or enabling conditions are still unresolved.

Focus-linked insights

Discovery outputs remain tied to the inquiry focus used at the time of capture.

Does the tool provide interview questions?

No. Exact interview prompts are unresolved by the product specification and should not be invented in the demo.

Can the tool rank strengths?

No. It captures strengths and enabling conditions without ranking, scoring, or diagnosing them.

Is this a full Appreciative Inquiry cycle?

No. It is a Discover-style interview and does not define the topic, design changes, or capture commitments.
