The assessment differentiates likelihood of future maltreatment from current safety concerns. Immediate safety threats should be addressed through a safety assessment unless the configured risk model explicitly includes them.

Assessment context, factor responses, unknowns, classification, rationale, and model version persist for later comparison.
No. Automated classification requires authoritative actuarial model configuration.
