1 Client choosing an optional use of Business Continuity Scenario Notes for context 1
Context

A client brings a situation related to Business Continuity Scenario Notes. Confirm their words, direct observations, sources, interpretations, assumptions, unknowns, goal, consent, privacy, access needs, culture, power context, and preferred scope.

How to Introduce

Offer the tool as optional. Explain its limited job, distinguish it from nearby tools, and confirm language, access, consent, privacy, and scope.

What to Watch For

Keep observations client-owned. Do not infer diagnosis, cause, hidden motive, fixed trait, score, truth, risk, priority, or outcome from an answer, blank, label, estimate, difficulty, repetition, or another person's reported behavior.

Debrief

Ask what is directly observed, what remains interpreted or unknown, and whether one optional question, support, referral, experiment, or no next step would be useful.

Flags

Not therapy, diagnosis, medical, business, financial, tax, accounting, investment, legal, employment, or relationship advice. Adapt or stop for distress or risk; use qualified or emergency support when appropriate.
