Life happens. You forget a check-in, or the day gets away from you. When that happens, it is tempting to fill the gap with a guess — "it was probably fine."
But a guess quietly poisons your evidence. One guessed "all fine" can look like a real data point weeks later, when you are searching for patterns.
StomaWise treats a missing follow-up as missing. Your Food Map shows exposures, completed check-ins, and missing follow-ups, counted plainly. No quietly filled-in blanks.
Uncertainty shown honestly is more useful than confidence that is not real.
