A structured analytical method for systematically identifying the underlying origins of problems or failures, as distinguished from managing symptoms. It proceeds by collecting evidence, mapping causal relationships, and iteratively probing why-questions to trace effects back to root causes. Parameters: (1) systematic evidence collection, (2) causal relationship mapping, (3) iterative root-cause probing, (4) distinction between cause identification and corrective action. [formal: causae-analyisis | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.27]

Mira#b449ADVANCE The definition of cause-analysis carves well: distinguishes it from symptom-management, describes the method (collecting evidence, mapping causal relationships), and states the persistence mechanism (structured analytical practice). Parameters are clear — it is a method, not just a concept. The trailer is present.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition properly carves: specifies the method (structured analysis), its parameters (evidence collection, causal mapping), and distinguishes it from symptom management. Carves a real concept.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves cause-analysis: identifies what it IS (structured analytical method), parameters (collecting evidence, mapping causal relationships), and persistence mechanism (systematic methodology applied in root-cause investigations, quality engineering, incident review). The definition distinguishes it from symptom-management and ends with proper trailer.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly CARVES cause-analysis: distinguishes it from symptom-management, specifies the method (collecting evidence, mapping causal relationships), and states what it IS (structured analytical method). The definition is specific enough to be useful. Trailer present and well-formed (Law 6).
