Methodology and privacy

  1. Included projects were created from 2026-03-21 through 2026-09-04, were completed, and were not owned by InspectMind accounts.
  2. Dismissed, duplicate, insufficient-reference, and previously suppressed findings were excluded.
  3. Topics use disclosed, case-insensitive terms in finding titles. Discipline labels are normalized from review metadata.
  4. Every published cohort contains at least 10 projects and 25 findings.
  5. The published artifact contains aggregate counts only—never names, addresses, files, project identifiers, account identities, or finding text.

Download the aggregate data

Download all 120 published cohorts. The files contain only aggregate dates, thresholds, topic and discipline IDs, project counts, finding counts, and severity totals.

Limitations

Categories overlap: a finding can match more than one topic and can carry multiple discipline labels. Counts describe potential findings surfaced during InspectMind reviews, not confirmed defects, industry prevalence, or an error rate. Project scope, document size, design stage, and reviewer validation vary, so totals should not be used to rank disciplines by quality.
