Inconclusive results

Why a check can be inconclusive and what we do about it.

An inconclusive result means Lead QA could not complete a reliable verification. Common causes:

  • Bot challenge or WAF HTTP 403
  • Blocking cookie banner that cannot be dismissed safely
  • Cross-origin iframe form that Playwright cannot enter
  • Transient network or timeout at the edge of the deadline

Product rules

  • Inconclusive runs do not advance the hard-failure streak
  • They do not open failure incidents
  • After several in a row you may get a soft “could not verify” notice

If the page is healthy for real users but we keep landing on a bot wall, report the run as a false positive so we can tune access-barrier detection.
