CAPA · Corrective & Preventive Action

CAPAs that prove the fix actually worked.

Root-cause analysis with bound evidence, owned action plans, separation-of-duties closure, and a scheduled effectiveness check — exported as one binder your auditor accepts unedited.

Built for ISO 9001 §10.2, 21 CFR Part 11-shaped workflows, and ISO 13485

Everything a CAPA needs to close — and stay closed.

One-click open from any source

Deviations, audit findings, incidents, and risk treatments spawn CAPAs typed by their source. The trail starts where the problem did — never retyped.

RCA evidence editor

5-Whys, fishbone, or free-form root-cause analysis with evidence files content-hashed to the record. The investigation is the artifact, not an attachment.

Action-plan builder

Corrective and preventive actions with owners, due dates, and verification criteria. Each action is its own audit-trailed task.

Separation of duties

The assessor cannot approve their own closure. Blocked in the UI, enforced server-side — the auditor sees the control, not just the policy.

Effectiveness check

A scheduled check confirms the fix held before the CAPA truly closes. "Closed" stops being a hope and becomes a gate.

CAPA binder export

Intake, RCA, actions, signatures, and the hash chain in one PDF that verifies on your auditor's machine.

From "something went wrong" to "verified closed."

  1. 1

    Open

    A deviation, finding, or incident opens the CAPA with its source linked by ID.

  2. 2

    Investigate

    Run root-cause analysis with bound evidence and build the action plan.

  3. 3

    Close

    A re-authenticated e-signature closes it — and the assessor cannot be the approver.

  4. 4

    Verify

    The scheduled effectiveness check confirms the fix held. Export the binder.

What this satisfies

  • ISO 9001 §10.2
  • 21 CFR Part 11-shaped
  • EU GMP
  • ISO 13485

"Shape" means we mirror the regulation's evidence, signature, and audit-trail requirements in our data model. See Trust & Security for the current certification state.

Our CAPAs used to live in three places and close on a vibe. Now the effectiveness check is a gate, not a hope — and the binder exports in one click.
