If something goes wrong
- Symptom: "Client Health Check canvas isn't in the Coaching hub." → Fix: Your plan doesn't include Coaching. Check avatar > Settings > Account.
- Symptom: "Account picker is empty." → Fix: You have no active accounts or contacts in Nynch yet. Add at least one, then retry.
- Symptom: "Health score feels wrong." → Fix: The coach only sees what's in Nynch. If you have relationship details not yet logged (informal conversations, feedback from others), add them to the account or contact notes and retry.
- Symptom: "Warning signals don't match my experience." → Fix: Silence isn't always bad. Add context to your account or contact notes explaining the situation (e.g. "Contact on sabbatical until Q3"), then retry for a more accurate assessment.
- Symptom: "Session ended without producing a score." → Fix: The coach needs you to answer its targeted questions to assess health. If you skipped them, restart and engage with the questions.
