How it works
Whether you’re tackling a minor incident, a complex problem, or performing proactive risk analysis, Causelink supports multiple RCA styles and FMEA with intuitive user interface options. Choose between 5Whys+, Sologic RCA, or FMEA interfaces, all equipped with tools like incident timelines, fishbone diagrams, and cause-and-effect charts to guide your analysis seamlessly.
Document evidence

All investigations rely on high-quality evidence. Causelink provides a place to document each evidence record. You can attach files or include links to outside references, such as web pages and videos. This keeps your evidence neatly organized and makes it easy to access during the RCA.

Analyze the causes
Analyze the causes
Causelink offers a variety of graphical tools to analyze and document the event. Create an interactive timeline to tell the story from start to finish. Use a Fishbone diagram to help guide and organize brainstorming sessions to identify possible causes. And create a branching logic diagram to show how causes interact with each other. Drag and drop functionality makes it easy to quickly prototype and then finalize the output. Use Causelink's built-in [Fishbone/Ishikawa diagrams](fishbone-ishikawa) to help you brainstorm potential causes.
