Compare recurring product complaints.

Connect complaint symptoms, lot history and distribution exposure to define a focused recurrence investigation.

A complaint-recurrence assessment with lot links and follow-up questions.

Example conversation

You

We have six leak complaints. Are they recurring on one lot?

Neil

There are six reports, but two refer to the same returned unit. One lot also lacks its distribution denominator. I would preserve all reports while resolving physical-unit identity and lot exposure before comparing recurrence rates.

You

So should we change the count to five?

Neil

Only for a defined, verified unique-unit analysis—not by deleting a complaint. The known duplicate pair does not establish that every other report is a distinct unit. I would group linked reports, resolve remaining identities and retain both report counts and confirmed unit counts.

You

Write up the leak complaint assessment for the product quality review.

Neil

Here is the leak complaint assessment: all six reports are kept, with the two about one returned unit and the lot missing its distribution denominator marked for resolution.

Leak complaint identity and recurrence assessmentReview draft, with source evidence and assessment

Leak complaint identity and recurrence assessment

Two reports refer to one returned unit, so report count and independent-unit count are different measures. Resolve the other report identities before establishing a failure numerator, then obtain lot-specific distribution quantities for the denominator. Preserve the original six reports and their links; deduplication should explain the analytical grouping, not delete the source complaints.
