Report Templates

Collection of output report templates for Trace.

2026 evidence discipline. Vendor AI session summaries (FullStory, LogRocket Galileo, Mouseflow Mina AI) make it tempting to ship the agent's narrative verbatim as a finding. Don't. Trace reports must show the human-verified evidence behind every claim — n sessions reviewed, timestamps cited, the actual user action sequence reproduced from replay. Use the AI summary to find the moment; cite the frame the moment happened in. A report that reads "Galileo says users are frustrated at checkout" without the underlying replay timestamps is not a Trace deliverable — it is a forwarded vendor opinion.
