What you get
- A per-event row capturing the trigger type, driver, and a link or reference to the clip
- A reviewer severity call, separated from the system's automated flag
- An outcome field: coached, dismissed as false positive, or escalated
- A review-turnaround field, since a coaching conversation loses impact the longer after the event it happens
- A false-positive rate rollup by trigger type, useful for tuning what the system flags
How to use it
- 1
Review every flagged event within a short window of it occurring — a coaching conversation about an event from two weeks ago lands far weaker than one from that day.
- 2
Record the reviewer's own severity assessment separately from the system's automated flag; not every triggered event is actually a coachable moment, and the log should show that judgment was applied.
- 3
Log the outcome clearly: coached with the driver, dismissed as a false positive with the reason, or escalated for a more serious response.
- 4
Track turnaround time from event to review, and treat a growing backlog as its own problem — a queue of unreviewed events is a program that's stopped functioning even if events are still being flagged.
- 5
Periodically roll up the false-positive rate by trigger type; a trigger with a consistently high false-positive rate is a tuning problem worth raising with the telematics vendor, not a driver problem.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
No — a meaningful share of automated triggers turn out to be false positives or defensible driving (braking for something that genuinely required it), and treating every flag as a violation erodes trust in the whole program. This log's severity field exists to separate a real coachable event from a system trigger that doesn't warrant one.
As soon as practical, and certainly within the same work week — a coaching conversation loses most of its effect when the driver has to be reminded what the event even was. If review consistently lags, that's a capacity problem worth raising rather than letting the backlog become the new normal.
Raise it with your telematics or dashcam vendor for tuning rather than continuing to review and dismiss the same trigger repeatedly. A consistently noisy trigger wastes review time and, if drivers notice it firing on legitimate defensive driving, damages confidence in the whole safety program.
This log is the event-level record of what was reviewed and decided; the Driver Scorecard Template rolls that history up into a per-driver trend over time. Keep them separate — this is the working log reviewers use daily, the scorecard is the summary view used for broader performance conversations.
