First Target Clarity

The review view makes the first target explicit while preserving the rest of the sequence.

Unresolved Targets

Targets can remain unordered, deferred, or unresolved without forcing false precision.

No Auto-Ranking

The system preserves practitioner order and rationale but does not calculate readiness or priority.

Does the system rank targets automatically?

No. Target order is entered and revised by the practitioner.

Can targets remain unordered?

Yes. The tool supports a holding area for unordered, deferred, or unresolved targets.

Does this tool determine readiness?

No. Readiness and stability considerations can be noted by the practitioner, but the system does not make readiness decisions.

Can I revise the sequence later?

Yes. The current sequence can be revised while unresolved material remains visible.
