Findings — Needs Review

Navigation: Intelligence → Findings → Needs Review
Primary audience: designated reviewers and domain owners
Purpose
Needs Review is the prioritized human decision queue for findings that cannot safely progress without confirmation, correction, dismissal, escalation, or additional evidence.
Scope controls and indicators
Priority chooses risk-ranked or another permitted ordering. Assigned To selects the reviewer's workload or unassigned items. Age sorts by queue time. Category filters business domain or finding type.
Queue shows the total awaiting review. High Severity identifies impact, Median Age exposes backlog health, and Agreement Rate shows recent reviewer agreement with the proposed classification. Agreement is a quality signal, not a target that reviewers should maximize.
Review queue
Each row provides finding ID, concise statement, domain, severity, age, confidence, linked object, assignment, and evidence availability. Selecting a row opens the review workspace without losing the queue.
Review workspace
The workspace shows the proposed statement, literal evidence, classification, severity, confidence, corroborating sources, affected business objects, downstream effects, policy mapping when relevant, and alternative classifications. It distinguishes source text from generated explanation.
Decision support reports evidence completeness and source agreement. It never replaces the reviewer's judgment or authority.
Actions
- Confirm finding records the proposed or edited result and reviewer rationale.
- Edit classification changes type, severity, wording, linked object, or structured fields before confirmation.
- Dismiss records why the evidence does not support a usable finding.
- Request more evidence keeps the item open and states the missing evidence.
- Escalate moves the item to the appropriate governed workflow.
- Assign selected changes reviewer ownership.
- Open the evidence at its source.
Review procedure
Read the literal source in context, verify identity and linked business object, compare corroborating and contradictory evidence, and check the proposed business effect. Record one clear decision and rationale. Create or route follow-up only after the finding's state permits it.
Safeguards
Reviewers see only permitted evidence. High confidence does not imply high severity or truth. Restricted policy-related candidates use the segregated Ethics & Compliance queue and never appear here with identifying details for unauthorized users.
