SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Kepner-Tregoe (KT) provides a disciplined, repeatable framework for diagnosing root causes, prioritizing actions, and making high-stakes decisions across complex problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four rational KT processes (Situation Appraisal, Problem Analysis, Decision Analysis, Potential Problem Analysis) integrated into workflows.
  • IS/IS NOT specification matrices to bound problems and generate distinct clues.
  • Weighted decision analysis with MUSTS/WANTS to compare alternatives.
  • Reusable templates, references, and automation scripts for scoring, reporting, and risk planning.
  • Use cases: root-cause analysis in manufacturing, project risk planning, vendor/tool selection, and complex process improvements.

Quick Start

Load an analysis JSON and generate a KT report: python scripts/generate_report.py --input analysis.json --output kt_report.html Or score and rank alternatives from an input file: python scripts/calculate_scores.py --input da_input.json --output results.json

  • python scripts/score_analysis.py --input assessment.json --output assessment.json

FAQPage Schema
What is Kepner-Tregoe problem analysis and how does it find root causes?▼

Kepner-Tregoe problem analysis is a structured root-cause diagnosis method that uses IS/IS NOT specification matrices to bound problems, generate distinct clues, and produce traceable decisions across four rational processes.

How do I score and rank alternatives for complex decision analysis?▼

To score alternatives for complex decision analysis, run scripts/calculate_scores.py with an input JSON file. It applies weighted MUSTS/WANTS criteria to rank options and outputs structured results for traceable decisions.

Can I use this framework for project risk planning and manufacturing process improvements?▼

Yes, you can use this framework for project risk planning and manufacturing process improvements. It integrates Potential Problem Analysis and Situation Appraisal workflows to prioritize actions and support high-stakes decisions.

What is the best way to generate a structured root-cause analysis report?▼

The best way to generate a structured root-cause analysis report is running scripts/generate_report.py with an analysis JSON file. It automatically formats Kepner-Tregoe findings into a reusable HTML reporting template.

Does Kepner-Tregoe decision analysis require any external dependencies to run?▼

No, Kepner-Tregoe decision analysis requires no external dependencies to run. The Skill operates independently using bundled scripts, references, and assets to perform structured problem solving and decision making.
