Paced Development
The map supports stopping at any layer. Incompleteness can be clinically meaningful and is not treated as an error.

Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Tentative Links
Links can be marked tentative or removed when the client does not accept a proposed connection.
Continuation
The continuation point is preserved so the same preferred-story thread can be developed later.
Does the tool generate identity claims for the client?
No. Identity claims and meanings must come from client language or practitioner-entered material.
Can the conversation stop before future action?
Yes. Partial maps are valid and can preserve the current continuation point.
Are exact scaffolding prompts included?
No. Exact prompts are used only when supplied by a valid scaffold configuration.
What is saved from the demo?
The tool and selected configuration are saved. Fictional layer content and sample links are not saved as real client data.
