About

Solvdit

Read full description

Every recurring defect has a root cause that was never truly found. Solvdit™ is an AI-powered root cause analysis app built on a rigorous, structured methodology — The Healy Method™ — that guides any quality professional to the real root cause in hours, not weeks. THREE METHODOLOGIES. ONE INVESTIGATION. The Healy Method™ integrates multiple tools into a single AI-guided 8D investigation. When the same root cause appears independently across categories, Solvdit detects the convergence and shows it to you in real time. HOW IT WORKS • Define the problem — conversational AI extracts the IS condition, the SHOULD-BE specification, and asks what changed. • Investigate with AI — hypothesis-embedded questions across all six causal categories; paths strengthen and weaken as evidence accumulates. • Confirm by convergence — cross-category agreement is the strongest confirmation a root cause can have. • Generate validated reports — BLUF summaries & full 8D reports BUILT FOR EVERYONE Manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and defense, medical device, food and beverage, technology and service industries, or anyone needing to solve problems. The AI adapts its terminology to your industry. START FREE Two complete investigations, free. No credit card. Continue with a single pay-per-use investigation or a Pro or Premium subscription — plans and current prices are shown in the app. Your investigation data is stored in your private account and is accessible only to you. Solvdit is a software tool; users and their organizations remain responsible for meeting their own regulatory requirements. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
