Observations

Methods and limits

Each listed check names the surface it examined. A skipped, failed, partial, unavailable, not collected, not requested, or withheld check says nothing about what a completed check would have returned.

  • Only checks with status completed enter the claim sentence numerator.
  • Findings appear only from completed checks and only within the scope printed for that check.
  • Severity labels describe one observation row. They do not roll up into a paper judgment.
