One critical system. Start fresh or audit what you have.
Specs, flows, records, PDFs, existing analyses. Structured or not.
Data quality scored. Failure modes extracted. Hierarchies built.
Risk-ranked, traced to your documents and work history. Ready for engineer review.
Your team corrects. Each edit improves the next draft.
Accept, request changes, or scale to more systems. You're in control.
Field data closes the loop. Gaps surface automatically.
"We spent six months on one machine's RCM and still aren't finished. This compresses that to days."

Each claim backed by running code. Built to pass your toughest review. Structured around AIAG-VDA, IEC 60812, SAE J1739, MIL-STD-1629A, and ISO 14224.
No FMEA row ships without explicit confirmation. Sign-off workflows enforce manager approval. All edits are versioned, attributed, and reversible.
Audit trails, structured logs, and model evidence for regulatory inspections. Runs on your VPC or on-premise. Dedicated database per customer. Air-gapped mode available.
Scores export with step-by-step reasoning, confidence scores, and source attribution. Fully auditable per user, system, and operation.
Failure libraries, corrections, and cross-site patterns are stored as structured domain data. AI models upgrade underneath. Your investment compounds forward, independent of any model change.
80% of FMEAs are still done in Excel. Why most are compliance exercises, not engineering tools -- and what's changing.
