Relational Mapping
The map depends on relationships among person, environment, and occupation; factors entered without links remain visible but are not over-interpreted.

Client Review
Client examples and review help ensure mismatches are understandable in everyday terms.
Relevant Limits
The map is not a root-cause engine, standardized fit score, causal hierarchy, or automatic intervention recommender.
Does the map need all three domains?
Yes. A meaningful fit map depends on person, environment, and occupation contributors being considered together.
Can clients help complete the map?
Yes. The supported mode is collaborative, with clients contributing lived examples and reviewing whether the formulation makes sense.
Does it identify the root cause of participation difficulty?
No. It maps entered relationships and fit/mismatch labels without making unsupported causality claims.
What happens to unlinked contributors?
Unlinked contributors remain visible as unlinked and should not be treated as part of a mismatch until connected.
