The Findings tab

What the Findings tab shows

The Findings tab is the first of six tabs inside the Processes card slider, and it is where open process decisions live. A decision here is Verinode's read on a pattern in your process data (an SOP with a step your peers run that yours skips, a certification or standard drifting out of alignment, a process-mining signal about how your jobs actually move) recommended as something worth a call. Verinode surfaces the pattern and a recommended action; you decide whether to act on it, park it, or leave it alone.

Findings is deliberately narrow. The other five tabs on Processes (All Processes, By Standard, Coverage, Benchmarks, and Flow) are where you browse and manage the underlying SOPs, standards, and process-mining metrics themselves. Findings only holds decisions: things Verinode wants you to look at and choose an action on.

Where to find it

Open Processes from the sidebar at /processes. The page is a horizontally scrolling slider of six cards; Findings is the first one, with an Ember Red accent on its tab label. Swipe, drag, or use the floating side arrows to move between tabs, or click the tab label directly.

Layout: the FindingsGrid

Inside the Findings tab, decisions render in the same tile gallery used on every section's Findings tab across the platform (Vendors, Jobs, Equipment, and so on): a responsive grid, one column on narrow screens, two on medium, three on wide, with a small 4px gap between tiles.

Above the grid sits an eyebrow line: "N decisions to review" (singular "decision" when there is exactly one). This count is simply how many open process decisions currently exist for your account.

What each tile shows

Every tile is built around two things: what it is and what it costs you.

• A colored bar across the top of the tile carries the decision's status at a glance: Ember Red for Urgent, Hard Hat Yellow for Pending, Deere Green for Acted or Resolved, IQ Teal for Parked, and neutral gray for Ignored. A small pill in the same color, in the tile's top-right corner, spells the status out in words, unless the decision is Acted or Resolved, in which case a diagonal "Acted" or "Done" stamp takes that corner instead (a pulsing "Planning" stamp appears briefly while Verinode IQ is still assembling the action plan behind an acted decision).
• A dollar figure, when Verinode can price the decision: a large number (for example "$1.2K/mo" or "$45K/yr at stake") followed by the framing period. Contributor-tier accounts see this figure blurred, with a tooltip explaining that it's a members-only value: dollar impact unlocks at Executive tier. Clicking it opens the upgrade flow.
• A title, the plain-language reason underneath the dollar figure ("Your fire-restoration SOP skips a moisture-mapping step 70% of peers run," for example). Some decisions, particularly compliance or certification risks that are hard to price, have no dollar figure at all; those tiles instead lead with a risk-kind and urgency chip ("Compliance · This week") and a consequence sentence, with the title underneath.
• A "From a scan" chip, on decisions the Business Analyst surfaced by running a scan across your data rather than reacting to a single event.
• A quick-action row at the bottom of the tile, matching the decision's status: a pending decision shows Act, Not now, and Ignore; a parked decision shows a single Resume button; an acted decision shows a single Edit plan button, or Review outcome once it is resolved. On the Findings tab inside the Processes slider these per-tile buttons aren't wired to fire directly from the grid, so the reliable way to work a decision here is to click the tile itself, which opens the full drill view described below. The one exception is an already-Acted or Resolved tile: clicking anywhere on it (including its Edit plan / Review outcome button) jumps straight to that decision's full /decisions/[id] workspace, skipping the drill view, since there is nothing left to review before acting.

Clicking a tile: the drill view, not /decisions/[id]

This is the behavior that makes the Processes Findings tab different from the standalone /decisions list: selecting a tile does not navigate you away from Processes. It flips the card in place to a second-level view, the DecisionDrillView, still inside the slider. Closing it (or pressing Esc, or the "All decisions" back link) flips you right back to the Findings grid, exactly where you left off.

Once you're in the drill view, moving between decisions works like flipping through the tab itself: swipe or drag on a trackpad, use the floating side arrows, or press the left/right arrow keys. A small caption at the bottom of the drill view spells this out: "← / → or swipe to navigate decisions · Esc to go back."

What the drill view shows

At the top, a "All decisions" link with a back-arrow icon returns you to the Findings grid. Below it sits the full decision card:

• A header row: a colored trajectory dot (Ember Red pulsing for a declining metric, Deere Green for improving, Hard Hat Yellow for stable), a status label (Declining, Needs context, or plain Decision), the entity name if the decision is tied to one, and a confidence pill (high, medium, or low) on the right.
• The dollar-at-risk figure, when there is one: a large number followed by the time period ("at stake"), with a Calculated or Estimated tag underneath explaining how sure Verinode is of the number, sometimes refined further with Peer cohort or Industry baseline when that's the basis. When the underlying formula is known, hovering the dollar figure shows it as a tooltip.
• For decisions that can't be cleanly priced (an insurance gap, a certification lapse), a risk-kind and urgency chip in place of the dollar figure, followed by the consequence sentence itself, rendered larger since there's no number to anchor the eye.
• The decision's title, one bold sentence stating the finding.
• Lifecycle dots: Flagged, Planned, Acting, Resolved, the same four-stage pattern jobs use for Assigned, Started, Billed, Paid, so you can see at a glance whether this decision has been committed to yet.
• One tile holding either the Recommended action (what Verinode suggests, what happens if you don't act, and, on lower-confidence decisions, what would refine the estimate) or, for decisions without enough data to recommend specifics, a Needs your context tile explaining that acting will prompt Verinode IQ to ask a couple of quick questions to shape the recommendation.
• A peer decision path block, when cohort coverage exists for this kind of decision, showing what similar operators did and how it turned out. This block is silently hidden when there's no cohort data for it yet, rather than showing an empty state.
• The three buttons: Act, Not now, and Why? (only shown when there is proof behind the decision to expand).

Act, Not now, and Why: what each button does

• Act commits you to the decision. It materializes the underlying record if one doesn't exist yet, records that you acted, and takes you out of the slider entirely to the full /decisions/[id] workspace, where Verinode IQ drafts a step-by-step plan and the agent thread picks up the conversation. This is the one control on the Findings tab that intentionally does leave Processes and route to the standalone workspace: acting is a bigger commitment than browsing, and the workspace is where the real work (a multi-step plan, an agent thread, step-by-step check-off) actually lives.
• Not now opens a small reason picker in place of the three buttons: Too busy, Need more info, Not convinced, or Other. Picking one parks the decision; it moves to Parked status and resurfaces later rather than disappearing.
• Why? expands a proof drawer beneath the card showing the specific data points behind the number (each with a label, value, and context) and, when there's one, the root-cause chain, a short "this led to that" reasoning trail. Clicking it again ("Hide") collapses the drawer.

Once you've clicked Act, revisiting the tile from the Findings grid no longer opens the drill view: the tile has already flipped to the Acted stamp treatment, and clicking it (or its Edit plan button) sends you straight to the decision's workspace, where the plan lives.

Empty state

When there are no open process decisions, the tab shows a single centered line: "No decisions for processes right now. As your agent finds patterns, they'll appear here." Nothing to do here yet, no action required; Verinode surfaces decisions as it finds patterns in the SOPs, standards adoption, and process-mining data flowing in from your other Processes tabs.

1. 1Open Processes from the sidebar and land on the Findings tab.
2. 2Scan the tiles: the colored top bar and status pill tell you at a glance what's urgent, pending, parked, acted, or ignored.
3. 3Click a tile to flip into its full decision view without leaving the page.
4. 4Read the recommended action, expand Why? if you want the underlying proof, then choose Act to commit and open the full plan workspace, or Not now to park it with a reason.
5. 5Press Esc, or click All decisions, to flip back to the grid and keep working the rest of the list.
