Severity Levels

Severity is a single rating for the overall condition of the unit:

| Severity | Chip Color | Description |

|---|---|---|

| Cosmetic | Light grey | Surface-only damage; fully functional |

| Minor | Yellow | Limited damage; straightforward repair |

| Major | Orange/Red | Significant damage requiring skilled labor and parts |

| Total Loss | Deep Red | Damage exceeds economical repair value |

Updating Damage Classification
