Reading the phases. An item can move from Optional to Essential as an incident progresses (e.g. incident type is Optional at first report but Essential once resolved). The headline 48 essential / 39 optional split is measured at the closed-incident (final) state. One item — actions planned — is Essential in intermediate reports but Not applicable at final, since there is nothing left to plan once closed.
