Severity mix
Severity is the review priority assigned when the potential finding was generated. It is not proof that the project team accepted the finding unchanged.
| Severity | Findings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| critical | 27 | 7.2% |
| high | 206 | 55.1% |
| medium | 126 | 33.7% |
| low | 15 | 4% |
Compare this topic across disciplines
These counts provide context for the same title-term group in other normalized disciplines. They are not discipline error rates.
How to interpret this benchmark
InspectMind matched disclosed, case-insensitive title terms for this topic, then grouped records by normalized discipline. The source window runs from 2026-03-21 through 2026-09-16. Duplicate, dismissed, wrong-find, insufficient-reference, and previously suppressed findings are excluded.
Categories overlap, so one finding may appear in more than one topic or discipline cohort. Document size, project phase, review scope, and validation status vary. This is evidence about the mix of potential findings surfaced in completed reviews, not a defect rate, an industry prevalence estimate, or a quality ranking.
Privacy threshold
Only aggregate cohorts with at least 10 projects and 25 findings are published. No customer names, project names, addresses, files, account identities, project identifiers, or finding text are present.
