History And Comparison
Prior trajectory states, milestone expectations, review points, and status changes persist so the practitioner can compare what was expected with what changed.
Relevant Limitations
The tool is not a generic scheduler. Milestones must connect to child safety concerns, safety goals, and expected evidence.
Does this tool include a client-facing view?
No. The supplied specification defines practitioner-only usage for this tool.
What does a milestone need to include?
A milestone should include timing, responsibility, a linked danger or safety goal, planned action, review point, and expected evidence.
Can the trajectory be updated when evidence changes?
Yes. The trajectory can be updated while preserving prior states for historical comparison.
Does the tool predict whether the case will become safe?
No. It organizes the pathway and evidence status; it does not create unsupported safety predictions.
