Findings
Exceptions, ranked and accountable
A finding is a record that a named rule could not reconcile, together with everything needed to judge it. It is never a score, and it is never deleted.
Severity
Severity is a property of the rule, not a calculation. It says how strongly the condition implies a problem, and it orders the review queue.
| Severity | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Critical | The condition is objectively wrong in the data, or has a direct effect on a return. VAT that does not follow from the net, a duplicated purchase invoice, a missing allocation number above the threshold. |
| Anomaly | The condition is unusual and warrants an explanation. A non-standard VAT rate, a material journal at period end, a counterparty record that conflicts with another. |
| Review | The condition is legitimate in many ledgers but should be seen. An invoice sequence gap, a dormant account reactivated, a negative expense posting. |
Evidence strength
The percentage shown against a finding is the proportion of compared attributes that matched. It is arithmetic over the attribute list beneath it, not a model output, and the list is always shown alongside it.
Status
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open | Raised by the run and not yet acted on. |
| Investigating | Work has started. Saving a note moves an open finding here. |
| Reviewed | Examined and accepted as understood. |
| Resolved | Corrected in the books, or otherwise closed out. |
| Suppressed | Deliberately set aside, with a recorded reason. |
Status, notes and suppressions are stored separately from findings and keyed by the finding's content-addressed id. Re-importing the same data or re-running the rules therefore carries your review work forward instead of discarding it.
Suppression
Suppressing a finding requires a reason: intentional duplicate, known recurring transaction, false positive, or other, and a note. The finding stays in the run, in the history and in every evidence export, carrying the reason and the date it was suppressed. Nothing is hidden from the record.
- A suppressed finding is filtered out of the working view, not removed from the data.
- Exports always include suppressed findings and the stated reason.
- Suppression can be reversed by reopening the finding.
