Feedback Analysis & Resolution

In this edition

Improved AI Problem Analysis so it works reliably even when feedback is already linked to closed or previously matched problems, while clearly flagging proposals that match an existing closed Problem.
Made Feedback detail more transparent by keeping closed problems and unlinked evidence visible, with inline controls to show or hide closed items and easier access to supporting quotes and citations.
Streamlined Feedback resolution with a clearer primary action and an explicit option to close related evidence, plus stronger guidance when open canonical problems remain attached.

Problem Management

Problem Details and Feedback Problem Review now keep active evidence counts and detail rows focused on currently linked support, automatically filtering out unlinked or dismissed evidence.
When all supporting evidence is removed from a problem that’s still referenced by historical Decisions or Learnings, the problem is now automatically marked closed (obsolete) instead of surfacing a blocking reference error.

Initiatives have a dedicated main navigation entry with Decisions, Kanban and relative Planning. Existing Feedback portfolio bookmarks redirect, while ordinary Feedback visits retain Inbox, Problems and Graph. Implemented and inspected in DEV; production release is not verified.
Full-page review centers a framed decision brief with optional supporting details and Nova. Normal card clicks open details; portfolio filters and selection survive return. Desktop list details stay in the page, while graph/mobile details overlay it. Implemented; production release is not verified.
Kanban uses six derived work phases plus Status unknown and falls back to collapsible sections when columns do not fit. Dragging requests a reviewed action, not an arbitrary phase overwrite. The page shell remains visible while data loads or refresh fails. Implemented; production release is not verified.

Missing goals can be prepared as three editable directions with short success-criteria lists, or entered manually. Preparation considers existing Strategy and evidence, but tested suggestions remain too feature-oriented. Human confirmation is required. Live DEV preparation is verified; production release is not verified.
Goals and outcome/correction records retain history. Outcome review presents findings and uncertainty beside the agreed goal; structured automatic evidence-to-goal comparison is not implemented. Implemented; production release is not verified.
PMs can record a Decision for selected Problem scope and finish an Initiative by accepting recorded delivery, confirming investigation findings, or explicitly ending with unresolved scope. Investigation does not require a Change. Receipts preserve uncertainty without marking Evidence reviewed, resolving shared Problems or creating follow-up work. Implemented locally with DEV support; production release is not verified.
Existing Themes are displayed as Initiatives, and the Capabilities module is named Product while Capability/Feature object terminology and technical identifiers remain intact. Implemented; release not verified.
