Unmatched does not automatically mean wrong
An unmatched item may be missing, misnamed, outside the expected set or impossible to assign confidently. Review the evidence before acting.
Do → understand → act
Know what the result means before you decide what to do with it.
Learn explains concepts and limitations that matter when a check needs interpretation. You do not need to read it before using a simple tool.
Available explainers
Open these when the concept affects the decision you are making.
File formats & data
Plain-language help for formats that appear in TaskThimble tools.
Concepts you will see in results
These summaries explain the product language without turning every tool into a long lesson.
Identifiers are not ordinary numbers
Values such as 00123 can be business identifiers. Leading zeros and exact structure may carry meaning, so TaskThimble avoids silently coercing them.
Readiness is not correctness
A pack can satisfy the explicit rules you entered without proving that every file, value, image or document is substantively correct.
Image consistency is not image quality
A different crop, brightness or format can be intentional. Set-relative checks surface differences for review; explicit requirements create actual pass/fail rules.
A diff can show change, not the reason
A comparison can identify additions, removals and detected changes. It cannot infer the business reason for those changes without evidence.
Review is a valid result state
When evidence supports more than one plausible interpretation, TaskThimble keeps the item unresolved instead of forcing a confident-looking answer.
Where Learn belongs
Explanation should appear where it reduces uncertainty, not as mandatory reading.
Before a check
Use an explainer when choosing an identifier, requirement or comparison model matters.
From a result
Open the concept tied to a finding or limitation without losing the local workbench state.
Before acting
Distinguish what TaskThimble can do from what still requires external or human judgement.
After a fix
Return to the relevant check and confirm whether the issue was actually resolved.
