How Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Works in SolveRight

When you run a decision through SolveRight, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is one of up to 155 frameworks that analyze your options simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 5 key data points from your decision description, then the probabilistic rubric computes a normalized 0-100 score for each option. This score is combined with results from other frameworks to produce your overall ranking, with contradiction detection highlighting where Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)disagrees with other methodologies.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)?+
Deductively analyzes combinations of events leading to a specified undesired top event. In SolveRight, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) uses a probabilistic rubric to compute a normalized 0–100 score for each option.
When should I use Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)?+
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is best suited for Risk Assessment decisions. It evaluates factors like top event, system schematic, basic event probabilities, making it valuable when you need identifying, quantifying, and mitigating potential downsides.
How does SolveRight use Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)?+
SolveRight runs Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) alongside up to 154 other frameworks simultaneously. The AI extractor identifies 5 key data points from your decision description, then the probabilistic rubric computes deterministic scores. If Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) disagrees with other frameworks, contradiction detection highlights the divergence.
