What the Findings tab is
Findings is the first tab you land on inside the Team card slider. It is where Verinode turns everything it reads about your roster, certifications, service-line coverage, capacity, and pay into a short, prioritized list of things worth your attention this week, each one framed as a decision, not a data dump.
Three things stack on the Findings tab, top to bottom:
- Open Tips, short one-line flags tied to a specific person or role slot.
- Cross-dimension stacks, a small number of synthesized write-ups where several signals across the Team page point at one shared root cause, each with a costed consequence and a step-by-step plan.
- The findings grid, the same decision gallery you see on every other section, scoped to Team.
Verinode surfaces these. You decide whether to act, park, or ignore each one; nothing here executes on its own.
Where to find it
Open Team from the sidebar. The route is /team. Click into any tile on the Team home page and the card slider opens on the tab it was scoped to, or open the Findings tab directly, the first of six tabs across the top of the slider: Findings, Team, Depth Chart, Performance, Capacity, Benchmarks.
Open Tips
What it is. A tip is a short, targeted flag about one specific person or one specific role slot, generated as its data changes, a certification that's about to lapse, a member entering their first 90 days, a role slot that's gone thin. Tips are the fine-grained layer underneath the cross-dimension stacks below them: a stack is several tips (and other signals) converging on one story, a tip on its own is just one thing worth noting.
What you see. When there are open tips, a header reads Open Tips · N (the count of open tips). Below it, up to five tips, each shown as a card with:
- Headline, a bold one-line summary of the flag, for example a note that a specific certification is expiring soon or that a role slot has gone unfilled.
- Rationale, a shorter muted line underneath explaining why the tip fired, when Verinode has one to show.
- Action, when there's a concrete next step, it appears as a small arrow followed by the recommended move, for example "→ Renew before the 30-day window closes."
Tips are ordered newest-first. If you have more than five open, the strip only shows the first five, the rest are still counted in the header and still feed the findings grid below.
Empty state. When there are no open tips, the whole section is omitted, no header, no placeholder card. If Team looks quiet, that's this section simply not rendering rather than a loading or error state.
Note
Tips can be scoped to a specific member or role slot, or can sit at the roster level with no single person attached. Either way, Verinode never puts a raw database label in front of you here, every tip you see has already been written into plain language before it reaches the page.
Cross-dimension stacks
What it is. Every night, Verinode's team synthesizer looks across the signals it's already generated for your roster, depth chart, capacity, and pay and pulls out overlaps: a pattern that isn't visible from any single tip, but is obvious once you see the tips, the coverage gap, and the cost side by side. When it finds one, it writes a single cross-dimension stack: a headline, a plain-language synthesis of what's going on, the root cause underneath it, an estimate of what the pattern is costing you every month, and a sequenced set of concrete steps.
This is the same kind of synthesis you'll see referenced as a "cross-dimension stack" elsewhere in the product, Team's version watches your roster, cert coverage, capacity, and comp signals specifically.
What you see. Above the findings grid, an eyebrow line reads N cross-dimension stack(s) this sweep ("sweep" is the nightly synthesis run). Below it, one card per open stack, each laid out as:
- A Cross-Dimension Stack label in the top-left corner, in copper.
- A cost of inaction figure in the top-right, when Verinode can price it, shown as a rounded dollar amount per month, for example "$1,900/mo cost of inaction." Not every stack carries a priced cost; when it doesn't, this pill is simply absent.
- The headline, a bold sentence naming the pattern.
- The synthesis, a short paragraph in plain language explaining what's happening and why it matters.
- Root cause, an italic line underneath the synthesis when Verinode has isolated one, framed as "Root cause: ...".
- An action sequence, a numbered list of concrete steps. Each step shows its number, a horizon tag (30d, 60d, or 90d, telling you the rough timeframe to act within), a small badge naming which of Verinode's specialist agents proposed the step, and the plain-language action itself.
Empty state. When there is no open cross-dimension stack right now, this whole block is omitted, the same way Open Tips disappears when empty. You go straight from the tab header to the findings grid below.
The findings grid
What it is. Below the tips and the stacks sits the findings grid, the same decision gallery used on every entity's Findings tab across the platform (Vendors, Jobs, Equipment, and the rest), scoped here to Team. It draws from Verinode's decision engine, which merges two kinds of intelligence into one consistent card: causal analysis Verinode has run against your data, and concrete, ready-to-send action recommendations. Whichever produced it, every card in this grid reads the same way: what's going on, what it's costing you, and what to do next.
What you see. An eyebrow reads N decision(s) to review. Below it, a responsive grid of tiles, one per decision, in no fixed order beyond how the decision engine prioritized them. Each tile is built around one number:
- The dollar figure, large and bold at the top of the tile, tagged /mo or /yr depending on whether Verinode is showing you a monthly loss or an annual impact. This is the headline: what continuing to do nothing is costing you, in the same terms you'd use to size any other business decision.
- The title, underneath the dollar, a plain-sentence description of the finding (who or what it's about, and what the pattern is).
- A status marker in the top-right corner: a small colored pill reading Urgent (Ember Red), Pending (Hard Hat Yellow), Parked (IQ Teal), Acted (Deere Green), or Resolved (a brighter Deere Green), or, when the decision is tied to a named vendor, client, or carrier, that entity's logo in the same spot instead.
- A faint background glyph that varies by domain, a visual cue so a wall of tiles doesn't read as one uniform gray block, it carries no information on its own.
Some findings can't be safely reduced to a single dollar figure, an insurance gap, a certification risk, a compliance flag. Those tiles drop the dollar hero and instead lead with a short risk label and urgency tag, followed by a one-line consequence statement and the finding's title.
Action buttons. Pending tiles show three buttons: Act, Not now, and Ignore. Parked tiles show a single Resume button. Acted tiles show a single Edit plan button, and resolved ones show Review outcome, both of which take you straight into that decision's page in the Decision Workspace. Whichever state a tile is in, clicking anywhere on the card itself (not a button) opens the full decision, with the underlying evidence, the causal reasoning behind the number, and live Act / Not now / Ignore controls that actually change the decision's status. From there, choosing Act moves the decision into your Decision Workspace, where you work the plan step by step. See the decision workspace for how that follow-through surface works.
If you're on the Contributor tier, the dollar figure on each tile is blurred with a note that member-tier access unlocks the dollar impact; the title and the rest of the card still tell you what the finding is about.
Empty state. When there are no open decisions for Team, the grid shows: "No decisions for team right now. As your agent finds patterns, they'll appear here."
How to use it
Read the tab top-down, not bottom-up. Open Tips is the fastest scan, a minute to check nothing urgent slipped by on a specific person or slot. The cross-dimension stacks are worth the most time, they've already done the work of connecting scattered signals into one story with a costed reason to act now rather than later; work the action sequence in horizon order. The findings grid underneath is your backlog: everything Verinode currently has open for Team, one tile per decision, sorted by what the decision engine judged worth surfacing.
Best-practice example
Say Open Tips flags that a Water Mitigation technician's WRT certification lapses in three weeks. Before you act on the tip alone, check the cross-dimension stacks: if Verinode has also noticed that this technician is the only qualified holder on that service line and that the coming season typically brings a volume spike, those signals converge into a single stack with a monthly cost of inaction and a three-step plan, renew the cert now, start cross-training a second tech, and revisit coverage before peak season. Acting on the stack closes the tip automatically once the underlying signals clear; acting on the tip alone would have fixed the certification but left the single-point-of-failure risk untouched.
