COMPARING PERIODS
Keep period lengths, grouping rule and recall/missing statuses visible.
Do not infer causes from a theme and life event appearing together.
If the grouping rule changes, date the new rule and preserve the old record.
Sharing summary, if desired: remove names and private identifying details.
