Working with findings

Read a finding card, action it, add notes, dig deeper, and ask the AI for help.

Each stage returns a list of findings. Every finding is a card you review and act on — clearing the ones that check out, flagging the ones that need follow-up, and skipping anything not relevant. A stage isn't complete until every finding has an action.

Stage 1 findings, each with a severity, confidence, and action control

Anatomy of a finding

  • Type — a label for what the finding is: Completeness Check, Accuracy Check, Position Change, Compliance Flag, Risk Flag, Opportunity, and (in Stage 04) Verification Item and Client Recommendation.
  • SeverityInfo, Warning, or Critical, color-coded down the left edge of the card.
  • Confidence — how confident the AI is in the finding, shown as a percentage. Treat it as a prompt for your judgment, not a verdict.
  • Title and description — the finding itself, with the supporting detail (amounts, document references, and reasoning) below it.

Action a finding

Open the Select action… dropdown on the right of each card. In Stages 01–03 you have three choices:

The Select action menu: Clear, Flag, Skip

  • Clear — the finding checks out; no further action needed. Shows as Cleared.
  • Flag — the finding needs follow-up. Shows as Flagged, and carries forward to Stage 04 for verification.
  • Skip — not relevant to this engagement. Shows as Skipped.

The card recolors to match its action, and the footer tracks how many findings still need one (e.g. 4 of 6 findings need action). To change your mind, reopen the menu and pick Clear to reset, or choose a different action.

Stage 04 uses a different action set — Verify / Flag for verification items and Clear / Remove for recommendations. See Finishing & exporting.

Add notes

Click Add notes on a card to attach a short note — your reasoning, a question for a teammate, or a reminder of what to confirm. Notes are saved with the finding and included in the exports.

Dig Deeper

In Stages 02 and 03, top-level findings have a Dig Deeper button. It runs a focused follow-up analysis and attaches any sub-findings it turns up beneath the original card, each with its own action control.

Stage 3 Risk & Opportunities findings with Dig Deeper

While it runs, the button shows Analyzing…. When it finishes you'll see either the new sub-findings or No further detail if there was nothing more to surface. If a dig is still pending after about five minutes, the button offers to Try again.

Ask the AI

Click Ask AI on a finding to open the stage chat — a chat panel scoped to the current stage, with that finding attached as context. Use it to ask how to resolve a finding, what a number ties to, or what to tell the client.

Stage chat open beside a flagged finding

The conversation stays with the stage, so you can pick it back up later. For general questions outside a review, use AI Chat.
