How to Read a Snagging Report: Critical, Major, Minor

A report is only useful if it drives action. Prioritization turns a long list of issues into a clear escalation sequence.

Critical findings

  • Items with immediate safety, leakage, or major operational risk.
  • Raise first and request urgent fix timeline.

Major findings

  • Items affecting functionality, performance, or finish integrity.
  • Track with firm closure dates and evidence after fixes.

Minor findings

  • Lower-impact issues that still require completion.
  • Bundle for efficient closeout once critical and major items are progressing.

Use one issue log that includes photo evidence, area reference, risk level, and action owner for every line item.
