Practitioner-Only Use
This tool is for practitioner decision documentation. Stakeholders may read the rationale if shared, but there is no separate client workflow.

What It Compares
The matrix compares candidate approaches by purpose, competencies or outcomes, users, data needs, population, setting, decision context, and constraints.
Relevant Limitation
The tool does not provide an assessment catalog, instrument validation, scoring, or unsupported rankings.
Does the tool recommend a specific assessment automatically?
No. The practitioner selects an approach or marks the decision unresolved based on entered fit information.
Can the matrix be saved without candidates?
Yes. It can be saved as a context-only draft with selection unresolved.
What blocks a finalized selection?
A finalized selection should not proceed unless the decision the data will inform is stated or explicitly marked unresolved.
