Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.

Live Method, Optional Artifact

The product value occurs during interaction. A persistent artifact is optional and meaningful only when confirmed messages, decisions, or supports should inform future communication.

Confirmed Versus Inferred

Confirmed meaning must remain distinct from practitioner inference. Ambiguous responses should stay unresolved.

What It Does Not Do

The tool does not teach a full curriculum, certify competence, collect language scores, or overinterpret unclear responses.

Is this a form for the client to complete?

No. The client experience is the supported live conversation, not a standalone form or questionnaire.

Does every use create a saved artifact?

No. No artifact is required when the interaction succeeds without documentation. Captured results are optional when confirmed messages or supports should be retained.

Can ambiguous responses be marked confirmed?

No. Ambiguous responses must remain unresolved until sufficiently clarified through the interaction.

What is saved when I save the demo?

The tool itself and any reusable setup choices are saved. Fictional conversation content and demo interaction notes are not saved as real client data.
