From first report to repeatable 8D practice.
The main workflow is intentionally simple, because the first business goal is clear: help users finish and export a real report.
01
Create the report
Start with guided D0-D8 sections, define the team, capture the problem, and keep every action tied to evidence.
02
Attach proof and finish
Upload photos, inspection records, and supporting files while the report stays structured enough for customer review.
03
Export, share, reuse
Free users can export watermarked PDFs. Pro users unlock no-watermark delivery, Word export, logo branding, and deep historical search.
Free for evaluation. Pro for delivery and reuse.
The paywall is designed around visible value: no watermark, unlimited reports, Word export, company logo, and deep search.

AI report drafting is positioned as the next Pro expansion.
The first month should validate report completion and paid delivery. AI stays visible enough to measure interest without slowing the launch.
Future goal: generate a D0-D8 draft for review, not automatic approval.
Frequently asked questions
The current product boundary is intentionally clear so the first 30 days can focus on activation and paid conversion.
What can I do on the Free plan?
Free includes 5 lifetime reports, the full D0-D8 editing flow, attachment support, view-only sharing, basic dashboard search, and PDF export with a watermark.
Why would a quality team upgrade to Pro?
Pro is for teams that deliver reports regularly and want their 8D history to become searchable knowledge: unlimited reports, no watermark, Word export, company logo, and deep historical search.
How does dashboard search differ between Free and Pro?
Free searches basic report metadata. Pro searches the full report history, including problem descriptions, containment actions, root causes, corrective actions, prevention steps, and lessons learned.
Is AI report drafting available now?
Not yet. The product keeps a lightweight interest entry in the editor so we can validate demand before building full AI drafting for D0-D8 reports.
Can I share reports with customers?
Yes. Free users can create view-only links. Pro users can also create editable links when a supplier or customer needs to contribute directly.
What happens after I create 5 reports?
Your existing Free reports remain accessible. Creating more reports requires Pro, which removes the report limit and unlocks formal delivery features.
Ready to finish the first real report?
Start free, create up to 5 reports, and upgrade when formal delivery or historical search becomes valuable.
