- Quality of workaround: A measure of the ability to achieve business function without a fix in place.
- Number of incidents: The number of incidents associated with the defect.
- Detectability: How likely a customer will experience this behavior when using the product.

Once a defect has been confirmed, the Support team will contact you and explain the priority assessment. If you disagree with the assessment, you can request that the Support team escalates the case based on the impact on your business. In addition to the Support team, you can also reach out to your Account Manager to discuss a possible ticket escalation.
