🔬 Investigation

We don't just log incidents. We structure knowledge.

Structured root cause analysis with timeline management, evidence chains, and findings that feed directly into risk and corrective action systems.

We don't just log incidents —
we structure knowledge.

The problem we solve

Why existing tools fall short

Investigation reports sit in folders. Root causes are described in free text, inconsistently. Contributing factors are missed because there's no structured framework. Corrective actions are created but never tracked to closure. Six months later, the same incident type recurs.

Core capabilities

What Investigation does

These capabilities work for any regulated industry — not aviation-specific. Industry-specific regulatory content is in the section below.

01

Structured root cause analysis methodologies

SIRAM provides multiple RCA frameworks built in. Investigators don't write free-text narratives — they build structured evidence maps using proven methodologies. Findings are consistent, comparable, and can be analysed across incidents.

  • 5 Whys analysis with branching cause chains
  • Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram builder
  • Bow-Tie risk model linkage from investigation findings
  • Contributing factor taxonomy: human, environment, equipment, procedure, management
  • Recurring pattern detection across historical investigations
02

Timeline and evidence management

Every investigation has a chronological event timeline. Investigators attach evidence to specific moments — documents, photos, maintenance records, witness statements. The complete picture is assembled in one governed workspace, not scattered across emails.

  • Chronological event timeline builder
  • Evidence tagging by timeline position
  • Witness statement recording with version history
  • Document attachment with upload timestamp
  • Evidence integrity: hash-verified on upload
03

Findings to action — closed loop

Investigation findings automatically generate corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs). Each action is assigned, tracked with SLA timers, and escalated if overdue. When actions close, the linked incident and risk register update automatically.

  • Auto-CAPA generation from investigation findings
  • Responsible party assignment with SLA timers
  • Escalation on overdue actions to next authority
  • Risk register update on finding closure
  • Investigation summary report — exportable for regulators
Industry-specific capabilities

Regulatory precision by industry

Activate an industry pack and SIRAM adds sector-specific taxonomies, regulatory form templates, and compliance mappings on top of the core module.

✈️ Aviation Occurrence Investigation

For aviation operators, SIRAM adds HFACS (Human Factors Analysis and Classification System) as an RCA framework, aligned with ICAO Annex 13 occurrence investigation methodology.

  • HFACS framework (Unsafe Acts → Preconditions → Supervision → Organisational Influences)
  • ICAO Annex 13 investigation process alignment
  • Occurrence classification: accident / serious incident / incident
  • FDR / CVR data reference logging with timestamp correlation
  • Safety Recommendation tracking (from ATSB / NTSB / ICAO reports)
Governance Engine

Every action validated,
not just recorded.

Before an investigator can open an investigation, the Governance Engine validates their authority to investigate this event type, their competency qualifications, and that they have no conflict of interest with the incident. Unqualified investigators cannot be assigned — the system enforces it automatically.

Why SIRAM

What makes this different

Not feature-by-feature — a fundamentally different architecture.

RCA is a framework, not a text box
Other systems give investigators a notes field. SIRAM provides 5-Whys, Fishbone, Bow-Tie and (with aviation pack) HFACS — structured frameworks that produce consistent, comparable, cross-analysable findings.
Evidence integrity is provable
Every evidence file is hash-verified on upload and stored with an immutable timestamp. In regulatory or legal proceedings, the evidence chain is cryptographically intact.
Industry frameworks load with the pack
HFACS is an aviation industry pack feature. Construction gets WHS Act investigation structure. Mining gets critical control failure analysis. The core investigation platform is the same — regulatory frameworks are additive.
