Two Linked Decisions

SCRPT separates whether the intake is accepted for response from how urgent that response is, while keeping the rationale and unknowns visible.

Configuration Dependency

Exact disposition categories, priority levels, required response actions, and rules must come from authoritative configuration.

Relevant Limitations

The tool is not a full investigation, long-term risk classification, or service planning form.

Does SCRPT produce both disposition and priority?

Yes. The result includes both screening disposition and response priority when configured decision content is available.

Can the demo invent priority levels?

No. Exact priority labels and rules must come from authoritative SCRPT configuration.

Is there a client-facing version?

No. SCRPT is a practitioner-only intake screening and prioritization tool.

What happens if intake facts are incomplete?

Unknowns and incomplete factors remain visible, and the result follows configured rules or remains incomplete if a valid decision cannot be generated.
