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

What It Captures

It captures transition description, timing, old and new role distinction, losses, gains, stressors, adaptation difficulties, targets, and date/context.

Unresolved Content

Missing gains, losses, or role labels can remain unknown rather than being treated as absent.

Relevant Limits

The tool does not generate coping plans, score adjustment, diagnose, or turn the transition into unrelated life-planning work.

Does Transition Timeline require a single exact transition date?

No. It supports exact dates, approximate periods, and relative transition phases.

Can gains or losses remain unclear?

Yes. Unresolved categories can remain marked as unknown without implying absence.

Does the tool generate adaptation tasks?

No. It organizes entered content; treatment targets are practitioner-entered.

What is saved from the public demo?

The tool and intentional timing-precision setup can be saved. Fictional transition details and sample targets do not become real client data.
