Fae Intelligence · Root Cause Analyzer

Sample reports — one problem, all five tiers

Real, unedited output from the live tool: the same investigation (cold solder joints on QFN-48 packages — a fictional but realistic SMT reflow scenario) run through all five output tiers. The root-cause analysis underneath is identical — a multi-factor cause with a named escape point. What changes is the deliverable and who it's built to be handed to.

Quick Root-Cause Summary

"Get me to a defensible root cause fast." One page, for internal triage — not a formal record.

NCMR-lite Record

"Document the nonconformance and disposition it." Adds formal disposition + containment for internal QMS.

A3 Report

"Tell the improvement story on one page." For Lean / Kata / CI teams that expect the A3 format.

CAPA Record

"Corrective + preventive action built to FDA/ISO CAPA expectations" — with effectiveness verification and closure criteria.

Full 8D Report

"The complete D1–D8 investigation in the structure your customer or auditor expects" — evidence matrix, fishbone with ruled-out causes, verification experiment.

Run your own investigation — free

Pick by recipient, not severity: external customer or auditor → Full 8D; FDA/ISO CAPA with preventive action → CAPA; formal material disposition → NCMR-lite; a Lean/CI audience → A3; fast internal answer → Quick. You can start light and escalate — findings carry over.

These samples are AI-generated drafts from a fictional scenario, shown exactly as the tool produced them. In real use, a qualified person in your organization reviews and approves every report before it is used.
