What It Captures

The tool captures stakeholder responses to assigned RSA versions and turns completed responses into a recovery-orientation profile according to the resolved RSA structure.

Stakeholder Perspectives

The review keeps stakeholder groups distinct where their versions or perspectives differ, and shows participation status so uneven response patterns are not mistaken for consensus.

Implementation Boundary

The product must use the resolved RSA items, response options, domain structure, and scoring rules. The demo must not invent those elements.

Can the demo show all 36 RSA items?

No. The supplied specification does not include exact item text, response options, domains, or scoring rules, so the public demo cannot display invented RSA items.

What does the practitioner review?

The practitioner reviews completion status, stakeholder-perspective views, and a multidimensional recovery-orientation profile based on the resolved RSA structure.

Are stakeholder versions merged together?

No. Responses from different stakeholder versions must remain distinct unless the resolved RSA structure supports aggregation.

Can RSA cycles be compared over time?

Yes. Completed assessment cycles can be compared descriptively when the RSA structure and stakeholder mix support comparison.
