Investigation record

Record a condition without turning an observation into a diagnosis.

Observe → document → investigate → decide

Keep possible causes separate from facts. A visible condition does not, by itself, prove installation fault, material defect or structural failure.

Observation log

Prepare the next review

  • Include an overview, middle-distance context and detail photograph taken safely.
  • Identify the same component in every observation.
  • Preserve original files and purchase/installation documents.
  • List unanswered questions without assigning blame.

Enter a component location and an observation to create your record.
