AI-Powered Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) Software

Rigorous Analysis. Intuitive to Use.
Powerful Enough to Find the Real Root Causes.

Aletheia guides you step-by-step through root cause analysis, from intake to cause trees to corrective actions, so your team gets it right, every time. Today it's built for equipment failures, and dedicated investigation types for production, safety, environmental and quality events are on the way.

First-time users routinely complete a full investigation in Aletheia, with root causes identified and corrective actions assigned, without any training from us.

That's the power of a guided methodology.

Uncover root causes faster. Close investigations with confidence.

The Problem

RCFAs shouldn't be this hard to run well.

Investigators spend hours gathering information, deciding what to ask, organizing evidence, building the analysis, writing reports, and following up on actions. And after all that work, the quality of the investigation can still depend on who leads it.

Aletheia gives every investigation a consistent structure while reducing the manual work around it.

Too Much Manual Work

Hours are spent gathering information, organizing evidence, building the analysis, and writing the final report.

Inconsistent Investigations

Investigation quality can vary depending on who leads it and what they remember to ask.

Actions Get Lost

Corrective actions end up in spreadsheets, email, or meeting notes with weak follow-through.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

$10K – $100K+

A single repeat failure can cost a plant $10,000 to $100,000+ in downtime, lost production, emergency labor, and equipment damage.

Why Now

Industrial equipment demands more expertise than the workforce can supply.

Experienced reliability and maintenance professionals are stretched thin, and less experienced team members are often asked to lead investigations without the same depth of training.

Aletheia helps teams apply a consistent investigation process while reducing the time spent on the manual work around it, from deciding what to ask to organizing evidence, building the analysis, tracking actions, and producing the final report.

Your experienced people can spend more time thinking about the failure and less time managing the process.

How Aletheia Works

From failure to fix in four steps

A structured, AI-assisted workflow that guides every investigation to true root causes.

01

Structured Intake

Capture equipment details, failure description, operating context, and maintenance history in a guided form that ensures nothing gets missed.

02

AI-Guided Investigation

Aletheia generates targeted follow-up questions to surface failure modes, contributing factors, and missing evidence that investigators might overlook.

Root Cause Analysis

AI analyzes all investigation data and suggests root cause candidates with cause trees. Your team validates and confirms — human judgment stays in the loop.

Key Features

Built for how reliability teams actually work

Every feature designed with input from reliability engineers and maintenance leaders.

AI-Generated Follow-ups

Targeted questions that surface what investigators miss, ensuring thorough investigations every time.

Root Cause Candidates

AI suggests cause trees that are human-validated, not blindly accepted. Your expertise stays central.

Full Audit Trail

Complete investigation history with timestamps, changes, and decision rationale for compliance and learning.

Action Item Tracking

Assign corrective actions with owners, due dates, and status tracking. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Searchable System of Record

Every past RCFA is searchable, letting teams learn from history and spot patterns across failures.

Consistent Process

Same rigorous investigation framework regardless of who leads it. Quality becomes systematic, not luck.

Coming soon

Beyond equipment failures

Not every investigation starts with a failed pump. Aletheia is adding investigation types, so each kind of event gets its own intake form and AI guidance built for it.

Production

Rate losses, process upsets and off-spec runs, investigated with a form built around what was lost and why.

Health & Safety

Injuries, illnesses, exposures and near misses, with access limited to the people you choose.

Environmental

Releases and permit events, traced from the source to the impact.

Quality

Deviations and nonconformances, with Quality sign-off required before an investigation closes.

Your IT administrator chooses which types your organization uses, and you can filter your investigation lists and KPIs by type. Equipment failure investigations keep working exactly as they do today.

Who It's For

Built for serious operations

From reliability engineers on the floor to plant leadership tracking KPIs.

Reliability Engineers

Lead better investigations with AI assistance that catches what manual processes miss.

Maintenance Managers

Ensure consistent quality across all RCFAs regardless of who conducts them.

Plant Operations Leaders

Track investigation metrics, completion rates, and demonstrate continuous improvement.

Industrial Facilities

Any operation where equipment uptime is critical and repeat failures are unacceptable.

Coming soon: EHS and Quality teams, with investigation types built for safety, environmental and quality events.
