Findings And The Evidence Chain
How InSite findings preserve source evidence, geometry, reviewer notes, severity, category, status, and report traceability.
What A Finding Is
A finding is a structured inspection observation. It is not just a screenshot or a comment. It combines what was observed, where it was observed, how severe it is, which category it belongs to, what evidence supports it, and whether it has been resolved or published.
Finding Parts
Evidence Capture
Evidence capture preserves what the reviewer saw at the moment a finding was saved or added to a report. This matters because a viewer can have zoom, layers, overlays, thermal palette, product mode, or 3D rendering controls active.
Report Traceability
A report should be able to explain which mission, source file, workflow, geometry, reviewer action, and evidence capture produced each finding. This traceability is one of the main reasons to use a structured inspection platform instead of a folder-and-document process.
