How it Works
Designed to fit seamlessly into existing troubleshooting workflows without changing how reviews and approvals work.
How NWI Fits into Existing Workflows
NWI integrates directly into standard troubleshooting workflows after a condition is identified and before formal review begins.
Engineers use NWI to:
- Establish structured failure logic
- Build confirm/refute matrices and fault trees
- Produce formatted, review-ready troubleshooting reports
No plant processes are bypassed. The same engineering review rigor applies, but the workflow becomes faster and more trackable through structured outputs and digital routing for review and approval.
Expert-Derived Knowledge Base
NWI's knowledge base is built from our founder George Baah's decades of troubleshooting nuclear systems across multiple plants and failure scenarios.
This experience has been formalized into a structured FMEA-driven system that reflects how failures are actually evaluated in the field — not abstract theory.
Role of AI
AI accelerates access to NWI's expert-defined structure. It applies the same failure logic consistently, generates investigative artifacts, and removes manual assembly work so engineers start from a disciplined foundation instead of rebuilding from scratch.
Just as important, NWI does not determine root cause or make operational decisions. That boundary preserves engineering accountability, supports adoption in regulated environments, and keeps the tool aligned to existing governance and review expectations.
Engineering Review & Digital Approval
NWI preserves existing review rigor while removing administrative friction. Generated reports can be digitally routed for review and approval with e-signature support, reducing manual handoffs, shortening cycle time, and improving traceability.
