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

When It Is Used

Use it when the therapy focus includes strengthening everyday connection through realistic shared routines.

What It Captures

The plan can capture selected rituals, agreement status, connection purpose, plan specificity, and clinician notes for later review.

Important Limits

The tool is not a habit tracker or calendar scheduler, and it does not score adherence or promise relationship improvement.

What is saved from a completed ritual plan?

In real use, selected rituals, plan details, agreement status, and review history can persist. In the public demo, fictional sample plan data is not saved as real client data.

Can partners disagree about a ritual?

Yes. If partners disagree, the tool preserves each partner's position and does not present the ritual as agreed.

Does the tool track chores or tasks?

No. It centers connection rituals rather than generic chores, task completion, or productivity tracking.
