Visible in supplied view
The cited image or video clearly shows the feature being described.
METHOD 02 · OBSERVATION LANGUAGE
Condition language limited to what the material shows.
Notes describe a visible feature at a defined location and cite the source view. They do not assign an overall grade.
PREFERRED TERMS
A small vocabulary with deliberate limits.
Short, repeatable wording makes it easier to distinguish an observation from a conclusion the visual material cannot support.
No issue visible in this view
Nothing is apparent in one cited view. This is not a statement about the complete unit.
Localized compression visible
A defined corner, edge or panel appears compressed in the cited material.
Surface impression visible
A localized indentation or pressure mark can be seen on a named surface.
Wrap line or fold visible
A line, fold or gathered area appears in the visible wrapping material.
Not shown
The requested area is absent from the supplied material.
Unclear from supplied material
Focus, glare, framing or resolution prevents a bounded observation.
Date unavailable
No capture date accompanied the supplied file.
