Findings — filter and navigate

The Findings page (/{tenant}/findings) is where every signal-emitted finding lands — one row per (signal × entity × time-bucket). For a tenant with dozens of signals and tens of thousands of findings, the table is too long to scan; what you need is the right slice.

This guide walks through the four ways to slice it.

The shape of the page

Findings has six layers stacked top-to-bottom:

1. Severity cards — Total findings plus three counts (High / Medium / Low)
2. Polarity pills — ▼ Risk / ▲ Opportunity / ● Neutral
3. Treemap — finding distribution by entity type
4. “Total money at risk — Signal” — per-signal exposure breakdown
5. Findings heading + search — the boundary between signals (above) and findings (below)
6. The findings table — the rows themselves, with sortable Severity / Score / Signal / Entity / Period / Money columns

Filters apply to the table at the bottom. Everything above is either a summary or a way to drive a filter.

Filter 1 — Severity

The four severity cards at the top double as filters. Click High and the table filters to high-severity findings. Click it again to clear.

Card	URL becomes
Total findings	(no filter — clears severity)
High	?severity=high
Medium	?severity=medium
Low	?severity=low

Severity has been around since signals shipped. It’s the discrete-band view: “how bad?” mapped onto three labels.

Filter 2 — Polarity (new)

Right below the severity row, three pills:

Pill	Means	Filters to
▼ Risk	Negative-polarity findings — anomalies, gaps, problems	polarity = negative
▲ Opportunity	Positive-polarity findings — strengths, healthy patterns, stability	polarity = positive
● Neutral	Neutral findings — counts, classifications, no judgement	polarity = neutral

Polarity is a different axis from severity. Severity says how bad; polarity says what kind:

	Negative	Positive	Neutral
High severity	A material is leaking CHF 250K — urgent risk	A material has nearly perfect price stability — strong signal	A high-volume material with many active suppliers — informative count
Low severity	A minor catalogue typo — small risk	Marginal stability — weak positive signal	A small enumeration — minor count

Click ▲ Opportunity to see only the strengths. Click again to clear. Toggle freely.

Why this matters

For the first ~3 months of jinflow’s life, every signal flagged risk — the system could only paint problems red. Sense 14 Phase 4 introduced positive-polarity signals (signal_price_stability, healthy perspectives) that paint opportunities green. The polarity filter is how you find them.

See Sense 14 — The Signal for the conceptual frame.

Filter 3 — Click any signal in the breakdown

The “Total money at risk — Signal” section lists every signal with its exposure total. Click any row to filter the table below to that signal’s findings.

The active signal gets:

• A primary-coloured ring around its row
• A small filtering pill next to the signal name

Clicking the active signal again clears the filter. URL updates ?signal=signal_negative_margin.

The small → arrow on the right of each row navigates to the per-signal detail page (/findings/{signal_id}) without toggling the filter — a stopPropagation lets you drill in without leaving the filtered view.

Filter 4 — Search

The search box accepts six progressive levels of grammar. Two examples that complement the pills above:

Search	What it does
26509	Free-text match across entity_id, signal_id, entity_type, time_bucket
!signal_id:negative_margin	Exact signal-id match (alternative to clicking the breakdown)
!polarity:positive	Same as the ▲ Opportunity pill, in text form
!score:90	Findings whose score equals 90 (other operators: >, <, >=, <= — see Search Grammar)
!direction:improving	Trend-aware filter (when direction is populated)

See the Search Grammar guide for the full syntax.

Composing filters

Every filter goes into URL search params. They compose freely:

?severity=high                                       # one filter
?severity=high&polarity=negative                     # two filters
?severity=high&polarity=negative&signal=...          # three filters
?severity=high&polarity=negative&signal=...&q=...    # four filters

Filters are AND’d: each one further narrows the table. A filter is active when its UI element shows the active state (border, ring, “filtering” pill). The “Clear filters” link in the polarity row appears whenever at least one filter is active and clears all of them in a single click.

URL persistence

Because every filter lives in the URL:

• Refresh holds the view
• Browser back undoes the last filter change
• Bookmark the URL → saved filtered view
• Share the URL → teammate sees the same slice
• Restore later by reopening any URL with filters

This is the same pattern jinflow uses everywhere (see JinDesk Page Design Principles — “URL is the source of truth”).

Visual cue cheat sheet

What you see	What it means
Severity card with primary border	this severity is the active filter
Polarity pill with thick coloured border	this polarity is the active filter
Signal row with ring + filtering pill	this signal is the active filter
Clear filters link visible	at least one filter is active — click to wipe all
Table row’s ▼ ▲ ● ScoreBadge	finding’s polarity coloured per the Score system

A worked example

You want to find materials where pricing is stable enough to anchor a contract renegotiation:

1. Open /hrcentral.vai/findings
2. Click ▲ Opportunity — table filters to positive-polarity findings
3. Sort by Score descending — the most stable materials surface first
4. Click any row to see the finding detail with out_mean_price, out_coefficient_of_variation, out_observation_count

Or from the other direction — you’ve heard a particular signal is misbehaving:

1. Open /hrcentral.vai/findings
2. Find signal_negative_margin in the breakdown list, click it
3. Filter active. Now sort by Money at risk descending — top-impact entities for that one signal
4. Add severity = high for the urgent subset

Or to investigate composition:

1. ?severity=high&polarity=negative — high-impact risks only
2. Read the entities. Sort by money_at_risk. The top of this list is your week.
