## What it does [#what-it-does]

File a finding the MODEL found — something a routine turned up, or you spotted, that no detector covers. action="amend"/"retract" for one YOU authored.

## When to use it [#when-to-use-it]

**Use when:** "log this as a finding" · "record what this audit turned up" · "file that as an issue in strata19"

**Also use when:** a routine or sweep produced real problems that should reach the queue

## When not to use it [#when-not-to-use-it]

the finding came from a detector — this tool refuses to edit or delete those; to set one aside use strata19.hide\_finding. Not for tracking work — use strata19.manage\_work\_item
