Writing a findings log reviewers trust.

How to record a meaning risk so the next reader can follow the reasoning, not just the outcome.

HORYZUN / TECHNICAL LIBRARY4 min read

A finding is a claim, not a complaint

"This sentence feels off" is not a finding. A finding names the passage, the constraint it may violate, and the specific way a reader's understanding or action could change. If you can't state the consequence, you don't have a finding yet — you have a hunch worth investigating.

Anchor every finding to a version

Reference the exact source and target version a finding was raised against. Translations move through revisions quickly, and a finding without a version number becomes unverifiable within a week.

Route ambiguity to the person who owns it

Some findings resolve by re-reading the target text. Others require the content owner to clarify intent in the source. Say which is which, and name who is responsible for closing the question — not just who raised it.

Leave the door open on unresolved items

Record any remaining uncertainty and let the release owner decide whether it blocks publication. When all findings are resolved, retain the evidence and reasoning behind each resolution.

Bring these questions to your next release.
