+**Required in all reports for Quality Assessment**:
+1. Structural context analysis of where occurrences are located (packages, objects, layers).
+2. Testing implications based on occurrence distribution.
+3. Explicit statement like "Source code is/is not available, so this analysis provides [detailed/high-level] guidance."
+4. If occurrence query returns empty or unexpected results, re-verify the issue type and characteristics before concluding.
+
+**Example scenarios**:
+- What quality issues are in this application?
+- Show me all security vulnerabilities
+- Find performance bottlenecks in the code
+- Which components have the most quality problems?
+
+### Issue Prioritization

+**Tool sequence**: `quality_insights` → `transaction_details` → `data_graph_details`
+
+**Example scenarios**:
+- Which quality issues should I fix first?
+- What are the most critical problems?
+- Show me quality issues in business-critical components
+
+### Root Cause Analysis
+**When to use**: When users want to understand the context and impact of specific quality issues
+
+**Tool sequence**: `quality_insight_occurrences` → `object_details` → `transactions_using_object` → [double-check issue nature if unexpected]
+
+**Required in all analyses for Root Cause Analysis**:
+1. Structural context showing distribution of occurrences across architecture.
+2. Testing strategy focusing on affected transactions and data flows.
+3. Clear statement of source code access affecting analysis depth.
+4. Validation that occurrence data matches issue type - if not, investigate issue definition.
+
+**Example scenarios**:
+- Why is this component flagged for quality issues?
+- What's the impact of fixing this problem?
+- Show me all places affected by this issue
+
+
+## Your Setup
+
