The findings log
Open findings with owner and date, tracked to closure — because a finding raised and not closed is a documented failure.
The deliverable
What it is
Findings accumulate when closure is asserted rather than verified, and an ageing findings log is itself a finding.
The organisation is in a worse position with an open finding than with an undiscovered problem, which is an argument for closing them rather than for not looking.

Closure asserted by the owner is not closure. Verify it, or the log becomes a list of things that were once mentioned.
