Investigating

6 features

Investigations from real events

Open an investigation against the machine that failed, with its history from the shared asset registry alongside.

Five whys for simple failures

A straight chain of questions for the failures that do not need a tree.

Full cause trees for complex ones

Branching causes with as many contributing paths as the failure actually had.

A drag-and-drop canvas

Causes move where you put them, a minimap keeps big trees navigable, and the toolbar follows the work.

Photos from the field

Capture the teardown on a phone and the photos attach to the investigation.

Evidence attached to causes

Documents, photos, and results pin to the cause they support, not to a general folder.

Corrective actions

3 features

Owners and due dates on every action

No action exists without a person and a date attached to it.

Verification before closure

An investigation closes when its fixes are verified in service.

Open actions visible

What is still open, who owns it, and how old it is, without opening each investigation.

Review and reporting

3 features

A structured review step

Conclusions get agreed by review, not assumed by the author.

Printable investigation reports

The tree, the evidence, the reasoning, and the actions on paper, with the diagram rendered as an outline for print.

History that stays as written

What was recorded is what remains; corrections are new entries, not rewrites.

Program analytics

4 features

Bad actor ranking

Machines ranked by failure downtime and cost across the window you choose.

Recurrence detection

Repeat failures on the same asset surface on their own.

Downtime and cost rollups

What failures took, in hours and dollars, by machine and by area.

MTBF trending

Mean time between failures, trended so improvement is visible.

Fits the plant

4 features

One shared asset registry

Investigations reference the same machines every other module uses. Nothing is imported twice.

Records outlive machines

A finding survives its subject: retire an asset and the investigation keeps its name and tag.

Access levels respected

Viewing and changing are separate rights, granted per person.

The assistant answers for it

Ask about open investigations or bad actors in plain language and get figures with links.
