Viewing and Setting STO and LTO
4. Current STO Information:

- Example of correct STO wording for frequency measurement to be recognized by the AI in the system: "Adrian will decrease physical aggression from 150 to 114 over 8 consecutive weeks."
- Example of correct STO wording for percentage measurement to be recognized by the AI in the system: "Adrian will increase answering personal questions from 0 to 20% over 8 consecutive weeks." Note: Ensure that percentage values do not have decimal points.
- A text indicates whether the collected data suggests that the STO should be marked as "met", or not.
5. You can add an expected met date to STOs and LTOs. You can do so by selecting the desired date in the STO create/edit menu as shown in the image below:
6. Whenever available, the expected met date will also be used in the STO analytics tool to alert the lead analyst when the current STO is taking longer than expected to be met:
An STO will be "met" when it meets the condition established in its wording.
For example:
STO Condition: "Lucas will reduce impulsivity from 85% to 75% per month for 8 consecutive weeks" will be marked as "met" when:
- Lucas’s impulsivity reduces from 85% to 75% or less.
- This reduction is maintained for 8 consecutive weeks.
If impulsivity increases above 75% at any point during these 8 weeks, the count resets and must start again from the first week when impulsivity is 75% or less.
