Narrowing
A goal that names only a broad domain remains too broad until it identifies the specific situation or concept.
Social Story Goal
Social Story Goal is a practitioner-only goal-definition tool for practitioners preparing an individualized social learning narrative. It helps the practitioner define the specific social understanding goal, audience reference, and situation or concept that should anchor later content decisions.

Downstream Alignment
If the goal changes after later story work, downstream content should be reviewed against the revised purpose.
Does this tool write the story?
No. It defines the story purpose and does not generate narrative text.
Does the audience complete anything?
No. The tool is practitioner-only and the audience does not interact with it at this stage.
What makes a goal incomplete?
A goal is incomplete if it is too broad, generic, or missing audience-specific information.
