Traceability

Each assessment priority and intervention direction should be linkable to entered contextual or occupational factors.

Partial Records

Incomplete pathways remain usable for work in progress while showing which PEOP areas are missing or which decisions are unlinked.

Relevant Limits

The tool does not create PEOP scores, diagnoses, prognosis, treatment protocols, or source-specific prompts that are not validated.

Is this a client questionnaire?

No. The specified configuration is practitioner-only, although client information may inform the practitioner's entries.

Does it recommend interventions?

No. It organizes practitioner-entered reasoning and links intervention direction to factors, but it does not generate intervention recommendations.

What makes the pathway PEOP-aligned?

It represents person, environment, occupation, and performance considerations and connects them to assessment and intervention planning.

Can incomplete reasoning be saved?

Yes. Partial records can be saved while showing missing PEOP areas or unlinked decisions.
