For a lean team it gives a structured way to investigate failures past the first answer. Teams build a logic tree of possible causes, test each one with evidence, and track the actions that follow.

Best for

Maintenance, reliability and safety teams in heavy industry that want a structured, evidence-based RCA method with training.

Watch out for

The software is closely tied to the PROACT method and training, so check whether your team will adopt that method before buying.
