Check whether the URL is in sitemap, linked internally, canonicalized to itself, and reachable without client-only rendering.
Inspect one example each from homepage, category, tool, compare, best, resource, playbook, and template page types.
Group failures into technical, duplicate, thin-content, blocked, canonical, or not-yet-discovered buckets.
Improve internal links and information gain before creating more URLs from the same template.
Record the fix date and re-check after Search Console updates instead of changing the same page daily.
