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.
