PROACT-Style RCA Canvas

Build a PROACT-style root-cause logic tree, capture 5-P evidence and actions, track follow-up metrics, and export the canvas as an A4 PDF.

What this tool does

This PROACT-style workspace organizes a root-cause investigation with 5-P evidence, analysis-team details, a hierarchical logic tree, validation states, corrective actions, and follow-up metrics. It helps document reasoning; it does not prove causality.

Who this is for

Teams documenting incidents and corrective-action discussions
Facilitators collecting evidence and stakeholder input
Students learning structured root-cause analysis workflows

How to use this tool

Capture Parts, Position, People, Paper, and Paradigms evidence and enter team roles
Build and connect root, hypothesis, cause, and corrective-action nodes
Mark node states, add the executive summary, KPIs, ROI, and follow-up details
Export the canvas and report sections as an A4 PDF

Inputs

Inputs include the 5-P evidence fields, facilitator/gatherer/SME details, editable tree nodes, node types and true/false/unknown states, summaries, KPIs, ROI, dates, and follow-up notes.

Outputs

The page creates a pannable logic tree and an A4 portrait PDF containing the tree image, evidence, team, summary, validated causes/actions, and tracking details. Drafts persist in localStorage; there is no JSON export.

Example use cases

Structure an incident review around the five evidence categories
Separate hypotheses, physical/human/systemic causes, and actions
Share a printable investigation summary with follow-up measures

Frequently asked questions

What are the 5 Ps?

The workspace groups evidence as Parts, Position, People, Paper, and Paradigms so an investigation can capture multiple evidence perspectives.

Can I add different cause and action types?

Yes. Nodes can represent failure modes, hypotheses, physical roots, human roots, systemic roots, and corrective actions.

Does the tool determine the root cause?

No. It organizes your evidence and reasoning but does not discover, validate, or calculate the probability of a root cause.

Where is the draft stored?

The draft is stored in this browser’s localStorage. Use Clear All to remove the saved canvas; export the PDF if you need a portable record.
