Grounding Links
Each opportunity should connect back to the client-stated elements it relates to. Ungrounded opportunities remain visible as incomplete or draft.
Important Limitation
The tool does not generate intervention strategies, rank opportunities, or predict success.
Does this tool create treatment recommendations?
No. It identifies and organizes possible openings for change; the practitioner remains responsible for planning interpretation.
Can it be used without prior Kawa elements?
Yes, but opportunities should be marked as incompletely grounded when no source elements are linked.
What configuration is saved?
The tool is saved, along with supported source-element selection or review setup where applicable. Demo opportunities are not saved as real client data.
Who completes the map?
It is designed to be completed together by the practitioner and client.
