Improvement projects often close when actions are completed, not when the cause is challenged, the change is tested, the new standard is controlled, and the business result is verified. Evidence, reasoning, approvals, and benefits can remain split across forms, spreadsheets, and meetings.

The job to be done
Why this product exists.
RigorFrame keeps the original signal, competing mechanisms, counterevidence, bounded experiments, controlled standards, reaction plans, approvals, and benefit states in one governed improvement record. It routes work through useful mechanics from Lean, Six Sigma, A3, FMEA, Theory of Constraints, decision analysis, standard work, and structured problem solving without reducing the product to blank methodology forms.
How it works
One controlled path through the handoff.
- 01
Frame and challenge
Define the observable gap, measurement boundary, competing explanations, evidence quality, and what could disprove the preferred mechanism.
- 02
Test and decide
Run a bounded experiment with a prediction, success threshold, kill criterion, confounders, and an explicit decision.
- 03
Control and verify
Convert validated learning into approved standard work, define the reaction plan, and separate modeled, observed, and independently verified benefit.
Concrete example
What the workflow looks like in practice.
A field-service team is losing hours to a recurring equipment interruption. RigorFrame preserves the initial signal, compares mechanical, process, and training explanations, links each claim to evidence, records a discriminating test, controls the resulting standard-work revision, and keeps projected savings separate from the benefit an authorized reviewer actually verifies.
Inputs and outputs
What goes in. What comes out.
Inputs and context
- Operational signal, baseline, and measurement boundary
- Competing mechanisms, risks, and counterevidence
- Experiment plan, thresholds, and observations
- Standard-work changes, owners, approvals, and benefit evidence
Resulting record
- Linked signal-to-value proof chain
- Evidence ledger and challenge record
- Bounded experiment and decision record
- Controlled standard work and reaction plan
- Approval and audit history
- Modeled, observed, and verified benefit states
Where it fits
Distinct role. Clear handoff.
RigorFrame governs the reasoning and evidence behind operational improvement. Enterprise is the multi-user governed workspace; Solo is the standalone edition for demonstrations, customer discovery, consulting engagements, individual improvement work, and workflow validation.
Choose the right edition
One method. Two operating contexts.
Compare the scope here; launch links remain after the product boundaries so the decision is informed.
RigorFrame Enterprise

RigorFrame Solo
Live standalone editionDemos, consulting, customer interviews, and individual workA self-contained edition that preserves the practical improvement workflow without presenting enterprise identity or governance controls.
Current boundaries
What this product is not.
These limits are part of the product decision. They are shown before the launch link so the current scope is clear.
- The Enterprise deployment is a release candidate, not a claim of general availability, SOC 2 compliance, independent penetration testing, or regulatory certification.
- RigorFrame is not a certified QMS or MES and does not replace qualified engineering, safety, quality, financial, or regulatory judgment.
- Solo is a standalone workflow edition; it does not provide Enterprise identity, tenant isolation, centralized administration, or organization-wide controls.
- References to established improvement methods describe compatible reasoning mechanics and do not claim sponsorship, certification, or proprietary-method licensing.
