Investigate incidents
with structure, not guesswork.
GuidedRCA walks your team through all 8 stages of an investigation — ECC diagram, guided questionnaire, CAPA tracking and a 12-section report — so every finding holds up under review.
Four modules, one investigation
Every incident moves through the same guided path — from first report to a signed-off, exportable finding.
ECC Diagram
Lay out Top Event, Event and Condition nodes on a drag-and-drop canvas to trace the causal chain — then import any node straight into your list of incident causes.
Guided RCA Questionnaire
A section-by-section tree of questions and why-options — with gate questions and a 1–5 risk rating on every cause — replaces the blank 5-whys template.
CAPA Tracking
Corrective and preventive actions with an owner, a due date and a status — open, in progress, completed, verified or overdue — tracked against every root cause.
Report Generation
A 12-section investigation report — executive summary, root cause analysis, CAPA, sign-off and more — assembled automatically and exported to PDF.
The 8 stages of an investigation
The same path every time — from the first incident report to a signed-off, exportable finding.
- 01
Incident Details
What happened, where, when, and its severity and classification.
- 02
ECC Diagram
Map the event-condition-cause chain on a visual canvas.
- 03
Incident Causes
Pull candidate causes in from the diagram, or add them directly.
- 04
Guided RCA
Work each cause through the structured why-option questionnaire.
- 05
Recommendations
Attach evidence and a final recommendation to every finding.
- 06
CAPA
Turn recommendations into owned, dated, tracked actions.
- 07
RC Tree
Review the full root-cause tree before it goes in the report.
- 08
Report
Generate the 12-section report and export it to PDF.
Built for teams that investigate
Any team that needs a defensible, repeatable investigation process — not just a blank incident form.
Manufacturing
Structured RCA for line stoppages, quality escapes and safety incidents.
Oil & Gas / Chemical Process
Investigations built around barrier failures and process-safety-element analysis.
Energy & Utilities
Investigate outages and equipment failures with a defensible audit trail.
Engineering & EPC
Give every project team the same investigation methodology, tenant by tenant.
