Findings and evidence
Citesvue extracts typed findings from a session instead of a wall of notes. Each one carries the quote, speaker, and moment that produced it, and visual evidence can add the frame and on-screen text. In the app they live under Artifacts.

Seven kinds of finding.
Typed because they route differently: a bug belongs in a tracker, a decision belongs in a record.
- Bug
- A defect, unexpected behaviour, or regression somebody hit. Carries a severity.
- Requirement
- Something the product or the work must do, including new capabilities somebody asked for.
- Decision
- A choice the group agreed to.
- Action item
- A concrete task, with an owner and a date where they were named.
- Risk
- Something flagged as able to go wrong, including concerns a customer raised. Carries a severity.
- Question
- A question that was left open.
- Insight
- A durable learning worth keeping.
- On the recording
- The Artifacts tab on a recording lists its findings with type filters. Open one for its evidence.
- By recording
- Artifacts in the sidebar lists every recording with how many findings it produced and how many still need review. Open one to review its whole list: Approve all, then Push everything approved.
- Search all
- Switch to Search all to search every finding and its quote across the workspace, filtered by type and project.
- Export
- Export on the Artifacts page downloads the current list as CSV.
What each finding carries, and what to do with it.
The evidence
A verbatim quote, the speaker, and the second it was said. When visual evidence corroborates a finding, it also carries the frame and the text read from the screen. The quote is checked against the transcript rather than paraphrased.
Severity
Critical, high, medium, or low, on bugs and risks. It maps to priority when a finding is pushed to a tracker.
Review
Findings arrive as Needs review. Approve the ones you stand behind and dismiss the rest; this is the step that keeps a tracker trustworthy. Reopen review undoes a decision.
Approval gates pushing
A finding cannot be pushed until it is approved. Viewers cannot push at all; members and above can.
Approved findings go to a tracker, a page, or a channel. See how integrations work.
Findings, answered.
Extraction reads intent from a conversation, and conversations are ambiguous. Dismiss a finding that is wrong; types cannot be reassigned today.
Extraction only keeps findings it is reasonably confident in and that it can tie to a verbatim quote, so a short or exploratory session may genuinely produce none. The transcript and recap are still there.
A generated overview of the whole session that forms the body of the recap. It is produced separately from the finding types above.
Yes. Export on the Artifacts page downloads CSV, and a recording's own export includes its findings in PDF, Word, CSV, or JSON.
No. Approval only marks it as one you stand behind. Pushing is a separate, deliberate action.
