# Evidence and findings

Telynt connects an observed business statement with the sources that support it. Meetings, email, documents, SOWs and plans contribute different parts of that context.

## From source to finding

1. A connected source is ingested with its access permissions and version.
2. Classification and analysis agents identify relevant statements, topics and relationships.
3. A finding records the interpretation, supporting passages, affected business objects and review state.
4. An authorized user confirms, corrects, challenges or dismisses it.
5. Related actions, reports and downstream analyses retain links to the evidence and the review history.

## Understand the indicators

| Indicator | Meaning | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Severity | Potential business impact | Prioritize attention according to the consequences |
| Confidence | Strength of support for the interpretation | Inspect ambiguity and additional context before relying on the finding |
| Review state | Where the finding sits in its review lifecycle | Distinguish detected signals from confirmed or resolved findings |
| Recurrence | Whether related evidence shows a repeated pattern | Investigate a sustained issue rather than counting each mention as a separate event |
| Freshness | How recently the underlying evidence was updated | Check whether a newer source changes the interpretation |

## Correct a source or interpretation

A transcript correction, a newer document or a changed speaker attribution can affect several findings. Telynt shows the related objects and preserves the earlier source version. Corrections are recorded with the reviewer, reason and resulting changes.

## Resolve disagreements between sources

A conversation can describe an agreement that differs from a contract or plan. Telynt shows both sources, their dates and the affected scope. A spoken acceptance and a formal contractual acceptance remain distinct until the appropriate authority confirms the relationship.

## Respect access boundaries

Search results and citations follow source permissions. Personal development material and Ethics & Compliance review records have their own access boundaries. A missing or inaccessible source does not become evidence for an unsupported conclusion.
