For regulated manufacturing — AS9100 · IATF 16949 · ISO 13485

Stop filling in forms.
Start solving problems.

An AI coach with a methodology spine. It guides your engineers through the thinking in real time, refuses to close a phase without the evidence an auditor would demand — and the document writes itself.

The step change

Continuous improvement hasn't changed since the fax machine. Until now.

Same methodologies your auditors trust. None of the blank-template archaeology that stopped them working.

The old rollout
  • A blank 8D template and good luck
  • “Root cause: operator error. Action: retrained.”
  • The method lives in one expert's head
  • The report written the night before the audit
  • Closed. Filed. Reasoning lost forever.
With Solve
  • A coach asking the right question, at the right phase
  • D4 cannot close without a validated root cause
  • The same rigour for every engineer, on every shift
  • The document writes itself as they think
  • Every solved problem retained — and searchable

How has your quality team survived without this?

The product

One conversation. Three surfaces. Zero forms.

Scroll. Watch a live investigation move through Solve — the coach asks, the engineer answers, and the 8D assembles itself in depth.

The document is a byproduct of the thinking
What changes

Four things your CI programme has never had.

Structure

A methodology spine, not a template. Every problem moves phase by phase — and can't skip one.

Consistency

The same evidence gate for your best engineer and your newest hire. Night shift included.

Visibility

A live hopper of every problem, tiered by severity, assigned down a real org chart. Nothing hides.

Retention

Each investigation becomes searchable institutional memory. When the expert retires, the coaching doesn't.

The compounding asset

Every solved problem makes the next one faster.

Most organisations file the closed report and lose the reasoning — the dead ends, the data that ruled things out, the insight that made the root cause click. Solve keeps all of it, connected, private to you, and retrievable mid-investigation: “You saw torque relaxation like this in PS‑2024‑061 — the root cause was thread contamination.”

Your data. Your graph. It never leaves — and it never retires.

Why now

The expertise is walking out the door. The problems are staying.

Corrective action is mandated everywhere — and it's where certified quality systems actually break: investigations that stop at containment, root causes that are really symptoms, knowledge that retires with its owner. Here's what that looks like in the data.

Methodologies

The right tool for the problem. Every phase, in order.

Engineers reach for the tool they know, not the tool the problem needs. Solve recommends the method, then holds the line through every phase until the evidence is in.

Built for the security review

Your data. Structurally.

Solve is built to pass the vendor security review of a regulated manufacturer — because that review is the front door to every customer we serve.

Tenancy
Isolation enforced in the data layer and tested on every release — never just in the UI.
Training
Your problems, documents and knowledge base are never used to train models. Inference only.
Residency
Cloud data held in UK/EU regions with a published sub-processor list.
Audit
Append-only audit trail of every material event, exportable to your SIEM.
