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

Practitioner-Only Use

The tool is for practitioner process tracking and has no separate client-facing experience.

What It Tracks

The checklist tracks sessions, predefined components, component coverage, unknown entries, descriptive gaps, edits, and practitioner planning notes.

Important Boundary

The tool is not a client worksheet, outcome measure, full psychotherapy note, or automatic treatment-quality judgment.

Is this a client worksheet?

No. It is a practitioner-only treatment-process and fidelity tracking tool.

Does a missing session mean no components were delivered?

No. Missing entries remain unknown and are distinguished from components marked not delivered or not recorded.

Can the component set change?

Only through a supported checklist configuration. Existing records should preserve the prior configuration for historical comparability.

Does the tool judge treatment quality?

No. It descriptively summarizes component coverage and progression unless the practitioner adds interpretation.
