What It Does Not Do
The tool does not diagnose, score vulnerability, calculate relapse probability, or infer clinical meaning beyond entered relationships.
History Over Time
Reviewed maps can be retained so later updates show changed factors and formulation text descriptively, without implying quantitative change.
Does this tool predict relapse?
No. It organizes reported stressors, vulnerabilities, supports, treatment strategies, and practitioner-entered formulation links; it does not calculate relapse probability.
Can the client use it directly?
Yes. The product includes a client-facing collaborative view, but the minimum product does not require a separate solo client workflow.
What is saved to my account?
The fixed Stress-Vulnerability Model Map tool is saved. Demo sample items and fictional formulation content are not saved as client data.
