Claimant Reports (70%): establish defects, link to statutory duties, evidence impact on health and comfort, and provide remedial recommendations with indicative costings.

Defendant Reports (30%): analyse allegations, identify exaggeration or misattribution, consider tenant lifestyle contributions, confirm compliance, and recommend proportionate remedies.
