Use Cases — Quality & Compliance

Deviation Management Agent

Captures deviations from approved processes, guides structured root cause analysis, scores risk and impact, and drives the resulting corrective and preventive actions to closure — keeping every deviation documented, justified, and audit-traceable.

Billing unit

Per deviation handled

Pay only for the value delivered. No upfront cost.

The result

Every deviation follows the same structured path: documented, risk-scored, root-caused, and linked to corrective actions tracked to closure. The quality team reviews and approves instead of chasing paperwork.

The problem

What happens without this agent.

Before

Deviations are recorded in scattered forms with thin justification. Root cause is guessed under time pressure, risk is rarely quantified, and CAPA actions stall without follow-up — leaving gaps an auditor will find.

How it works

Step by step: how the Deviation Management Agent operates.

Every action is logged, auditable, and executed inside your Microsoft 365 environment. Nothing leaves your tenant.

  1. 1

    Deviation logged via Teams, email, or quality portal with the affected process, product, or batch

  2. 2

    Agent classifies it (planned vs unplanned, severity, scope) and assigns a unique reference number

  3. 3

    Guides the owner through structured root cause analysis (5 Whys / Ishikawa) and records the findings

  4. 4

    Runs a risk assessment scoring severity × probability and flags items needing immediate containment

  5. 5

    Proposes and links corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), assigning owners and due dates

  6. 6

    Tracks CAPA progress, chases overdue actions, and compiles the closure dossier for audit

Before vs. After

Without the agent

Deviations are recorded in scattered forms with thin justification. Root cause is guessed under time pressure, risk is rarely quantified, and CAPA actions stall without follow-up — leaving gaps an auditor will find.

With the agent

Every deviation follows the same structured path: documented, risk-scored, root-caused, and linked to corrective actions tracked to closure. The quality team reviews and approves instead of chasing paperwork.
