Diagnostic reports

SmartReport + PDF: accepted evidence, clearly organised.

Review accepted evidence from completed Guided Diagnostic runs in a structured, deterministic report, then export it locally to PDF. Evidence context and limitations remain part of the report. Engine Fault Scan is separate; a code list or an imported session is not automatically a SmartReport.

Coming soon for Windows. V1 scope: Giulia/Stelvio 2.2 JTD. The documented reference is a 2020 Stelvio 2.2 JTD with Bosch EDC17C69; other configurations require review.

Synthetic examples

The examples below use invented data and an illustrative layout. They are not actual SmartReport/PDF output, customer reports or live results, and do not demonstrate implemented signals or diagnostic rules. The example documents remain in English; the surrounding explanation is translated.

Report A

Synthetic example

Complete synthetic example — no abnormal pattern illustrated

Every expected signal in the Core / Standard scope was recognised, so the interpretation runs in full. The status is still qualified: it applies to the captured evidence, not to the vehicle.

Partial but usable — caution, with the gaps named.

Two regeneration-history signals were not recognised. The available evidence still supports a limited interpretation, the missing signals stay visible in the ledger, and the recommendation asks for them rather than estimating them.

Why deterministic reporting matters

A report you can check is worth more than one you must trust.

Every finding above can be traced to the evidence that produced it, and every gap in that evidence is stated where a reader will see it.

Reproducible

With unchanged accepted evidence, context and rule version, the interpretation is repeatable. SmartReport/PDF does not rely on the separate AI Analysis prototype.

Evidence-linked

SmartReport retains the accepted evidence context of its completed diagnostic run, so findings can be read with their supporting measurements and limitations.

Transparent about gaps

Missing evidence is recorded rather than estimated. A gap narrows a finding; it is never filled in to make the report look complete.

Explicitly bounded

Every report states what it does not establish, in the report itself rather than in a footnote elsewhere.

Understanding example statuses

What a status does and does not say.

These status descriptions explain the synthetic examples above. Read any actual report within its evidence scope: a clean fault scan or an available signal does not establish the vehicle’s complete mechanical condition.

No abnormal pattern in this illustration
Means
No rule reached a caution or warning state within the evidence available.
Does not mean
That the vehicle has been mechanically certified healthy.
Caution
Means
Recognised evidence met a rule that asks for further investigation.
Does not mean
That a repair is definitely required.
Warning
Means
Recognised evidence deviated markedly from what the rule expected.
Does not mean
That a specific component has been conclusively diagnosed without further verification.
Insufficient data
Means
Required evidence was missing, so no dependable conclusion was reached.
Does not mean
That the vehicle has failed or is unsupported.

A report status reflects captured diagnostic evidence. It is not a verdict on the complete mechanical condition of the vehicle.

Missing data

Absent evidence is recorded, not invented.

Expected evidence is sometimes not there. What happens next is the part worth understanding, because it is where a diagnostic tool is most tempted to guess.

  • Missing evidence is recorded rather than silently substituted.
  • Unsupported or unavailable data stays visible as a limitation.
  • Missing evidence may narrow a finding to what remains supportable.
  • One missing signal does not invalidate every other recognised sample.
  • It may produce a recommendation for another focused capture.
  • Where too little remains, a finding is withheld rather than guessed.
  • Missing evidence is not proof of a mechanical fault.

Never done

  • Estimating a missing value
  • Generating a value to fill the gap
  • Promising the signal will appear on another attempt
  • Treating a repeatedly missing signal as component failure

A partial capture, read honestly

Where a focused group returns most of its expected evidence but not all of it, the available evidence is preserved, the gap is listed, the finding is stated with its limitation, and a focused recapture is recommended. Nothing is discarded and nothing is filled in.

Report library

Reports are kept apart from the sessions that produced them.

A saved report is its own item. It is stored separately from diagnostic sessions and does not appear among them, so an interpretation is never mistaken for the evidence it came from.

Diagnostic sessions

Carry a source badge that keeps their origin visible.

  • Live
  • Imported JSON
  • Legacy
  • Demo

Saved reports

SmartReport retains accepted evidence from a completed Guided Diagnostic run. PDF export creates a local document for review; it does not add measurements or send the report to anyone.

  • A report does not replace its source session.
  • A report retains its source-session relationship.
  • A report is listed apart from active sessions.
  • A report remains an interpretation of the available evidence.

Keep the source context

Keep the source sessions and run context alongside any exported PDF when you need to review how the evidence was collected. Sharing a document remains your choice.

Source traceability

The report stays linked to the evidence behind it.

Traceability here means the application workflow retains the relationship between a report and what produced it, so the evidence behind a finding can be reviewed.

What the retained relationship preserves

  • The completed run and its accepted source evidence
  • The diagnostic groups that were selected
  • The evidence accepted for the completed run
  • The interpretation that was applied to it

The original capture is not modified

Generating or regenerating a report reads the saved source data. The original session is not rewritten, and another session is never silently substituted for it.

When source evidence is unavailable

An exported PDF remains a readable document, but it cannot replace missing session or run data for further analysis.

Not claimed

  • Immutable or tamper-proof evidence
  • Cryptographic signatures or notarisation
  • A certified audit trail or forensic chain of custody
  • Protection against a file being changed by hand
What reports do not establish

The boundary of any report.

A report organises the available evidence and states its limits. It does not establish any of the following.

AI Analysis is a separate prototype/planned capability, not an integrated production feature. SmartReport/PDF is deterministic.

  • Unexplained AI judgement
  • Self-learning diagnosis
  • Machine-learning confidence
  • Automatic diagnosis
  • Guaranteed diagnosis
  • Guaranteed repair
  • A complete mechanical inspection
  • Universal vehicle coverage
  • Confirmation that a missing signal is a fault
  • Confirmation that an available signal is mechanically healthy
  • Immutable evidence
  • Tamper-proof evidence
  • Cryptographic signatures
  • Built-in email sending
  • Public report links
  • Cloud report hosting
  • Automatic off-device backup

A report organises and interprets what a capture contained. It does not replace professional mechanical inspection.

Before a report exists

A useful report starts with a supported capture.

Interpretation is limited by the evidence available, and the evidence is limited by the configuration. Confirm compatibility first.
