severity

Reviewer-overridden severity tier label for this story — applied to every member hit’s matchResult.severity, not just the primary source. Defaults per type are PEP ‘Class 1’-‘Class 4’ and Adverse Media/Sanctions/Warning ‘High’/‘Medium’/‘Low’, but tiers are workspace-configurable and renameable, so the valid set depends on the account’s taxonomy. Pass null to clear.
