Why
Why investigators pick RCA Map
Reason 1
A second set of eyes
When you're stuck mid-investigation, RCA Map surfaces the questions an experienced investigator would ask next — drawn from your incident, not a generic checklist.
Reason 2
Visual investigation maps
Lay out the chain of causality visually. Move things around as your understanding changes — the map updates with you, so the picture in your head and the picture on the screen stay in sync.
Reason 3
Collaborative analysis · coming soon
Investigate together on one Map — multiple people editing concurrently, in real time. No deck, no copy-paste from a Word doc; the whole team reads the same evidence and lands on the same root cause.
Reason 4
5 Whys methodology, built in
Built on proven root cause analysis. Keep asking 'why' to drill from symptoms to the underlying cause — the tree structure keeps you in the discipline, no separate worksheet or template to fight.
Reason 5
Structured documentation
Export the investigation as a clean Word or PDF document — ready for the post-mortem deck, audit response, or weekly safety review.

How it works

Get from incident to root cause in four simple steps.

Describe your problem
Start by describing the problem you're investigating. Be specific about what went wrong, when it happened, and what the impact was.
Get AI suggestions

What is a 3-legged 5-Whys analysis? (with examples)

A single chain of 'why' explains the trigger and misses the disaster. A 3-legged 5-Whys runs three parallel chains — what failed, what let the warning slide, and what shaped the decision — so the fix lands on the system, not the symptom.

"Prove it will fail": the sentence that launched Challenger

The engineers had the data and the right answer the night before Challenger launched. A single flip in the burden of proof was enough to overrule them. How a go/no-go hold point quietly inverts under pressure — and how to catch it in your own organization.
