# Incident Investigation Software

> RISKOPILOT is AI-powered incident investigation software that turns a written incident narrative into a Tripod Beta analysis, BowTie diagram, STEP timeline, GFT organisational profile and a 12-section audit-ready PDF report in under five minutes — in English, French, Spanish or Portuguese.

## Why HSE teams choose RISKOPILOT

Most incident investigation software is a form-builder bolted to a CAPA tracker. RISKOPILOT is the opposite — a methodology engine. It applies Shell's Tripod Beta framework, traces every contributing thread through agent-hazard-target trios, and surfaces the latent organisational failures most root-cause tools never reach. Investigators get the full reasoning, not just a template to fill in.

## What you get from one narrative

From a single incident narrative RISKOPILOT generates:

1. A Tripod Beta tree with all HET (hazard-agent-target) trios mapped
2. A BowTie diagram with preventive and recovery barriers classified
3. A STEP chart sequencing every actor across the timeline
4. A GFT organisational profile across the eleven General Failure Types
5. Prioritised, time-bound recommendations linked to specific barriers
6. A 12-section PDF ready for regulator and board submission

## Audit-ready, regulator-ready

Every artefact in the report is traceable back to a sentence in the original narrative through the built-in evidence matrix. This satisfies ISO 45001 §10.2 (Incident, nonconformity and corrective action), IOGP Report 456 KPI reporting, and the documented-investigation expectations of the UK HSE, OSHA, EU Seveso III and Brazilian NR-1.

## Built for high-hazard industries

RISKOPILOT is used by HSE professionals in oil & gas, mining, chemicals, energy, construction, manufacturing and logistics. The platform is GDPR-compliant, EU-hosted, end-to-end encrypted, and we never train AI models on customer data.

## How it works

1. **Paste or upload the incident narrative** — witness statements, control-room logs or a written summary. Minimum 200 words.
2. **Confirm the Top Event** — refine or override the loss-of-control event the engine detects.
3. **Add evidence (optional)** — photos, permits, P&IDs, training records, SOPs.
4. **Run the analysis** — under five minutes.
5. **Download the report** or send for 24–72h expert review by a certified Tripod Beta practitioner.

## FAQ

**Q: What does incident investigation software do?**
A: It helps HSE teams structure, analyse and document workplace incidents to find root causes and prevent recurrence. RISKOPILOT goes beyond form-filling by applying the Shell Tripod Beta methodology end-to-end.

**Q: How is RISKOPILOT different from Intelex, Cority or Enablon?**
A: Those are broad EHS suites where incident investigation is a small module — usually a 5-Whys form bolted to a CAPA workflow. RISKOPILOT is a dedicated Tripod Beta methodology engine. We do one thing and integrate with whichever EHS suite you already run.

**Q: Is the AI reliable for safety-critical work?**
A: Outputs are deterministic against the methodology — every barrier classification, GFT mapping and recommendation is traceable to source text via the evidence matrix. Reports can be reviewed by a certified Tripod Beta practitioner before release.

**Q: How is my data protected?**
A: All data encrypted in transit and at rest, EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant. RISKOPILOT never uses customer incident data to train AI models. Single-tenant deployment available on Enterprise.

**Q: What does it cost?**
A: £99 per investigation report, £149 bilingual, £49 executive briefing deck. Enterprise plans start at £499/month.
