Most inspection tooling captures what was found and when. It captures where only as a room, a zone, an asset tag, or a sentence somebody typed. That is enough to file the report and not enough to return to the exact spot six months later, which is when the finding actually matters.
The consequence shows up as re-inspection. Somebody walks the site again to find the thing the last report described, because the description was not precise enough to act on. That is the cost, and it repeats every cycle.
