What It Captures

The tool captures 1-10 feelings ratings linked to narrative sections, moments, or thoughts, with repeated ratings preserved as history.

Partial Coverage

Not every narrative anchor needs to be rated. Unrated sections remain separate and are not interpreted as low distress.

Limitations

The tool does not infer thresholds, readiness, risk, processing priorities, or required interventions from ratings.

Can ratings be entered without a narrative anchor?

No. A rating must be linked to a narrative section, moment, or thought to be complete.

Does a high rating trigger an automated recommendation?

No. The tool shows reported intensity descriptively and does not generate processing recommendations.

Can the same anchor be rated more than once?

Yes. Repeated ratings for the same anchor are shown as history rather than overwriting prior entries.

Do unrated sections count as low distress?

No. Unrated sections are shown as unrated and should not be interpreted as low distress.
