Post-incident review with live decisions

Retro documents written days later miss the uncertainty and speed of the real event. CADS captures decisions during the incident so the review starts from an accountable timeline, not a blank template.

Concept

Why this matters

When reasoning is recorded as you go, the post-incident review can focus on systemic improvements instead of reconstruction. Teams spend less time arguing about what was believed at hour two versus hour four.

  • Append-only style timelines reduce “quiet edits” to history.
  • Evidence links stay attached to the decisions they supported.
  • Leadership reads the same case record responders used during the event.
