 # Inconsistency Detection
+
+Currently, there are two kinds of inconsistencies that are supported by the approach: Missing Model Elements (MMEs) and Undocumented Model Elements (UMEs).
+
+Undocumented Model Elements (UMEs) are elements within the Software Architecture Model (SAM) that are not documented in the natural language Software Architecture Documentation (SAD).
+Our heuristic looks for model elements that do not have any (or below a certain threshold, per default 1) trace links associated with them.
+In the configuration options, you can fine tune the threshold as well as set up a regex-based whitelist.
+
+Missing Model Elements (MMEs) are architecture elements that are described within the SAD that cannot be traced to the SAM.
+For this, we make use of the recommendations from the Recommendation Generator within the [Traceability Link Recovery (TLR)](tlr).
+Each of these recommendations that are not linked with a model element are potential inconsistencies.
+To further increase precision, we make use of filters.
+For example, we use a filter to get rid of commonly used software (development) terminology that look similar to, e.g., components but rarely are model elements.
