Framework · 1

Differential Reasoning Navigator
How to use this set to practise differential reasoning — and how Differential Reasoning differs from Mastery. The fast routine for reaching a defensible formulation under exam conditions.

Criteria · 1

Criteria-in-Context
Fast-lookup criteria with clinical traps surfaced — cardinal features first, threshold and duration cues, built for one-handed mobile use while you practise.

Differentials · 1

Differential Decision Grids
A-vs-B decision rules for overlapping presentations — rehearse the distinguishing features at speed without scrolling pages.

Specifiers · 1

Specifiers in Plain Clinical Use

Case reasoning · 1

Vignette Decision Trees
Applied case reasoning when criteria sets overlap — reads like a clinical scenario, walks the differential, surfaces the decision rule, lands on a defensible diagnostic statement.

Compliant use · 1

AHPRA-Conservative Framing
Educational-use-only framing — refers explicitly to the official APA DSM-5-TR as authoritative; supervision-aware language; not a diagnostic device.
