Consistent interval geometry is required for reliable logs, calculations, and reports.
Interval boundaries may have been entered incorrectly, duplicated, omitted, or imported out of sequence.
Review the affected and adjacent intervals, correct their boundaries or ordering, and confirm continuous coverage to the intended borehole depth.

The recorded value falls outside an expected or physically valid domain.
The value may contain a transcription, unit, calculation, or data-mapping error.
Verify the value and units against the original field or laboratory record. Correct confirmed entry or calculation errors; otherwise document the verified exception.

The rule identifies a condition that should be verified as part of QA/QC review.
The source value or related record may contain an entry, calculation, classification, or mapping error.
Review the source data and related records, correct verified errors, and document any valid exception before approval.

The rule detects an uncommon or internally inconsistent combination that requires review rather than automatic correction.
One or more related values, classifications, interval boundaries, or observations may be incorrect, or the condition may be unusual but valid.
Compare the flagged values with the original logs and adjacent intervals. Correct confirmed errors; otherwise document the field or engineering basis for accepting the condition.
