  "lifePurpose": "Your child’s self-sufficient, mainstream-included life is our purpose from the beginning. AbilityScore® helps us understand the abilities your child brings today—so the next goal, the people involved and the support we choose have a clear reason in that life.",

  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "What does an AbilityScore of 0–1000 mean?",
      "answer": "It is the display scale for PinnacleAI’s composite developmental measurement. A clinician explains it with the assessment version, the child’s age, relevant abilities, support and everyday context. It is not a percentage of development or a stand-alone IQ result."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a parent complete the clinical AbilityScore online?",
      "answer": "No. The clinical score is clinician-administered and clinician-governed at a centre. Family questionnaires and daily observations contribute important context; they do not replace clinical administration or independently generate the clinical score."
    },
    {
      "question": "How does AbilityScore help choose the next goal?",
      "answer": "The assessed picture helps the professional and family discuss which ability and support matter for a real-life priority. They then choose a specific opportunity, suitable methods and people, and what to review. A number alone does not prescribe a goal or therapy package."
    },
    {
      "question": "How is AbilityScore different from the Seven Readiness Indexes?",
      "answer": "AbilityScore is the composite developmental measurement. The Seven Readiness Indexes are separate views for particular areas of participation and support. The professional interprets both with the child’s context and the family’s priorities."
    },
    {
      "question": "What if the score and everyday observations seem different?",
      "answer": "Bring that difference to the professional. The assessment version, setting, support and the child’s experience need to be understood together. Reassessment and review may lead to keeping useful support, adapting the plan or exploring a different need."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does the score diagnose autism, ADHD or determine school admission?",
      "answer": "No. PinnacleAI GPT-OS is licensed as non-diagnostic developmental-support software. The score does not diagnose a condition, promise independence or determine admission. Care decisions require appropriate professionals, and school decisions involve the school and relevant support."
    },
    {
      "question": "What should I bring to the first conversation?",
      "answer": "Start with one everyday moment you want to make easier, what your child already does and what help seems useful. Existing reports and relevant family observations can help the team explain the appropriate assessment, professional, centre and fees before you decide."
    },
    {
      "question": "Where can I inspect the AbilityScore evidence?",
      "answer": "The Verify portal links the methodology preprint, the company evidence dossier, the MD-5 and BIS records, and the separate external-validation protocol. The protocol describes planned validation; it should not be read as completed independent comparator findings."
