Key finding
Which title exceptions remain open at closing? The finding is operational and does not establish a legal conclusion.
Question and scope
Which title exceptions remain open at closing? The scope is the documented closing record in a defined window.
Population and unit
Files closed in a defined quarter. The unit is one file, disclosure, wire request, package, or exception.
Definitions and measures
Exception type, owner, evidence, and clearance time. Freeze the window and evidence standard before sampling.
Where the record fails
Exceptions are cleared in email without a revised commitment. Record the reason, owner, and recheck date.
Worked example
A survey exception remains open but the file says clear. The numbers are illustrative; the stage split is the useful part.
Operational use and limits
Report unresolved items and limitations beside the finding. The result supports one decision and a recheck date.
