Overview
Why teams start here
Incident investigation software should help a team understand what happened, why conditions aligned, what evidence supports each conclusion, and whether the resulting actions control the risk. It should not turn root cause into a mandatory dropdown chosen before the investigation begins.

FAQs
Questions about this use case
What should incident investigation software track?
It should connect event context, immediate response, people and assets, evidence, interviews, timeline, facts, hypotheses, causal and contributing factors, actions, review decisions, implementation proof, verification, effectiveness, closeout, learning, and reopen history.
Is incident reporting the same as investigation?
No. Reporting captures the initial event and response. Investigation develops and tests the event story, evidence, conditions, causes, actions and learning. The records should remain linked without forcing the reporter to perform the investigation.
Can Jodoo support root cause analysis?
Yes. Teams can configure fields, linked evidence, questions, causal categories, diagrams or attachments, reviews, actions and gates around their chosen method. The software does not determine root cause; qualified investigators do.
How do returned investigations work?
A reviewer can record the missing evidence or reasoning, return the case or action for correction, retain the prior submission and comments, and review the corrected version before acceptance.
Should every incident use the same workflow?
No. The initial safety and evidence-preservation steps may be shared, but scope, investigators, method, specialist input, notifications, action review and approval should be proportionate to risk and requirements.
How should investigation dashboards be used?
Use them to find cases needing a decision: uncontrolled exposure, evidence gaps, overdue work, returned actions, repeat factors, pending verification and reopened cases. Always allow drill-down to the underlying record and evidence.
