Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

What It Captures

The map captures people, communities, or histories; how they influence preferred identity; what the client contributes; and whether the relationship supports the preferred story when discussed.

Privacy-Conscious Exploration

The tool does not require contact information. Public demo exploration uses placeholders instead of real names.

Limits

The tool does not measure relationship quality, calculate social-network metrics, or infer what a relationship means.

Does the map require contact details?

No. Contact management is outside the tool; relational nodes can be named or described without contact information.

Can communities or histories be added instead of individual people?

Yes. People, communities, and histories can all be nodes when they are meaningful to the preferred identity.

What if a relationship reinforces the problem story?

Capture that distinction rather than excluding or converting it; the review can show how it relates to the preferred story.
