If the findings are sorted by CVSS score and nothing else, you were sold a scan, not an assessment.
The short version
Teams do not fail at this because they lack tooling. They fail because the first decision — what counts as done — is made informally and never written down. Everything downstream inherits that ambiguity.
What we do differently
We write the acceptance criteria before the design, and we make the person who will operate the system sign off on them. It slows the first week and saves the last month.
A worked example
On a recent engagement the client had three definitions of "active customer" in use across finance, sales and operations. Reconciling them took four days and invalidated two years of trend reporting — but every dashboard built afterwards was trusted immediately.
Where to start
Pick the one report your leadership team argues about most. Fix its definition, its pipeline and its refresh guarantee. Then move to the next one.
