An AI root cause analysis that doesn’t stop at the first plausible answer

  • One Why at a time

    QOS escalates each Why only on your real answer — no jumping to a convenient cause.

  • System, not person

    The cause is a process or control gap, never an operator’s name — that’s the only fix that sticks.

  • 5 Why + Ishikawa + Red X

    Switches method to fit the problem: 5 Why for linear chains, Ishikawa (6M) to brainstorm, Red X for hard variation-driven cases.

  • Stops at a verifiable cause

    A root cause you can confirm with data and that, when removed, makes the problem disappear — then straight into corrective actions.

Root cause analysis is where most problem-solving quietly fails: teams stop at the first plausible cause, or blame an operator. A real root cause is a system or control gap you can verify with data, and that, when removed, makes the problem go away.

QOS drives 5 Why one step at a time on your real answers, switches to Ishikawa (6M) or Red X when the problem needs it, keeps the blame on the system, and hands the verified cause straight into corrective actions or an 8D.

FAQ

Does it do 5 Why and Ishikawa?
Yes — 5 Why and Ishikawa (6M fishbone), plus Red X for variation-driven cases.
Will it blame the operator?
No — the cause is always framed as a system or control gap, because that’s the only fix that holds.
Can it feed an 8D?
Yes — the verified root cause goes straight into D4 of an 8D.
