Concept Development (NASA Phase A)
Walk users through the engineering concept lifecycle — from wild ideas to a polished concept document with cited research. The process remains solution-agnostic through most phases, identifying solution OPTIONS (not picking them) only at the drill-down phase.

fmea-analysis
Conduct Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for systematic identification and risk assessment of potential failures in designs, processes, or systems. Supports DFMEA (Design), PFMEA (Process), and FMEA-MSR (Monitoring & System Response). Uses AIAG-VDA 7-step methodology with Action Priority (AP) risk assessment replacing traditional RPN. Use when analyzing product designs for potential failures, evaluating manufacturing process risks, conducting proactive risk assessment, preparing for APQP/PPAP submissions, investigating field failures, or when user mentions "FMEA", "failure mode", "DFMEA", "PFMEA", "severity occurrence detection", "RPN", "Action Priority", "design risk analysis", or needs to identify and prioritize potential failure modes with their causes and effects.
36fishbone-diagram
Create comprehensive Fishbone (Ishikawa/Cause-and-Effect) diagrams for structured root cause brainstorming. Guides teams through problem definition, category selection (6Ms, 8Ps, 4Ss, or custom), cause identification, sub-cause drilling, prioritization via multi-voting, and 5 Whys integration. Generates visual SVG diagrams and professional HTML reports. Use when brainstorming potential causes, conducting root cause analysis, facilitating quality improvement sessions, analyzing defects or failures, structuring team problem-solving, or when user mentions "fishbone", "Ishikawa", "cause and effect diagram", "6Ms", "cause analysis", or "brainstorming causes".
29fault-tree-analysis
Conduct Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) to systematically identify and analyze causes of system failures using Boolean logic gates. Top-down deductive method for safety and reliability engineering. Use when analyzing system failures, evaluating safety-critical designs, calculating failure probabilities, identifying minimal cut sets, assessing redundancy effectiveness, or when user mentions "fault tree", "FTA", "system failure analysis", "minimal cut sets", "safety analysis", "failure probability", "AND/OR gates", or needs to trace failure pathways from top event to basic events. Supports qualitative structure analysis and quantitative probability calculations.
24pareto-analysis
Conduct Pareto Analysis (80/20 Rule) to identify the vital few causes driving the majority of problems. Guides data collection, category definition, chart creation, cumulative percentage calculation, and prioritization. Generates professional Pareto charts (SVG) and HTML reports with quality scoring. Use when prioritizing defects, complaints, failures, or improvement opportunities; when user mentions "Pareto", "80/20 rule", "vital few", "trivial many", "prioritization", or needs to identify which factors contribute most to a problem.
23kepner-tregoe-analysis
Conduct Kepner-Tregoe (KT) Problem Solving and Decision Making (PSDM) analysis using the four rational processes - Situation Appraisal, Problem Analysis, Decision Analysis, and Potential Problem Analysis. Use when performing structured root cause analysis, making complex decisions, evaluating alternatives with weighted criteria, conducting IS/IS NOT specification analysis, anticipating implementation risks, troubleshooting complex issues, or when user mentions "Kepner-Tregoe", "KT method", "IS/IS NOT", "situation appraisal", "decision analysis", "MUSTS and WANTS", "potential problem analysis", or needs systematic problem-solving methodology. Includes specification matrices, decision scoring, quality rubrics, and professional report generation.
21five-whys-analysis
Conduct rigorous 5 Whys root cause analysis with guided questioning, quality scoring, and professional report generation. Use when performing root cause analysis, investigating problems, conducting 5 Whys sessions, troubleshooting recurring issues, or when user mentions "5 whys", "root cause", "why did this happen", "find the cause", or needs to identify underlying causes of defects, failures, or process problems. Includes validation tests, scoring rubric, and countermeasure development.
