It's acceptable as a starting point, but the challenge is to turn it into a useful report. Not all notes need to be turned into a report, of course. In a stream of consciousness style, all kinds of information together in a blob. If I were coaching, I'd look through the blob to see what kinds of information was there and what kinds was not there. So far, it looks pretty balanced. You are focusing on UI, of course, but I would expect that for an early session. You might do as many as four or five more sessions like this, then refactor your notes into something that could serve as a report. Or you could let your reporting be entirely oral, supported by your notes. At some point I would expect to see a coverage and risk model emerge from all this, too.
