detections
Spotted anomalies recorded
Detections is the plural of detection—instances of discovering or noticing something, especially something hidden or not immediately obvious.
The word appears frequently in technical contexts: The software flagged several detections overnight, Early detections of cancer improve survival rates.
Security systems, medical screenings, and surveillance all generate detections as their output.
