Use only within an active or supported relationship: agree a rhythm the people and place can carry. This is not a universal reporting duty.
Read, do not score: colours are dated human judgements, not properties of reality. Keep evidence, interpretation and uncertainty readable.

Important rule
Do not force green. Green may justify a small next step. Yellow calls for adjustment. Red calls for protection, pause or repair. Unknown means there is not enough basis for a reading; it is distinct from Yellow.
