What Trikona is designed for

A responsive chart-and-consultation workspace with cited factors, encrypted client records, and the same browser experience across supported devices. Review How it works before deciding.

How to choose

Shortlist by constraint. A native commercial desktop package may suit a Mac or Windows practice; an online tool may suit occasional access; Trikona is designed for a cited, multi-device client workspace. Keep sample outputs and verify convention settings before committing.

Questions practitioners ask

What is the safest migration approach?

Parallel-run representative charts, record convention settings, and move client records only after review.

Should calculation breadth be the only score?

No. Include reproducibility, platform, support, privacy, and the consultation workflow.
