Incident investigation is a structured human process for examining workplace incidents to determine root causes and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence. It operates through systematic evidence collection (interviews, documentation review, physical inspection), causal analysis using formal methods (5-whys, fault-tree analysis, fishbone diagrams), and documented findings that feed into organizational learning. Parameters: (1) triggered by a reportable event (injury, near-miss, property damage, environmental release), (2) requires trained investigators, (3) produces a written report with findings and recommendations, (4) feeds corrective actions back into the safety management system. [formal: investigatio | substrate: behavior | horizon: a life | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition correctly carves the concept: structured process, evidence collection, causal analysis, corrective actions, prevention. Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. The persistence mechanism (organizational procedures and documented lessons) is stated.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carved: specifies the practice (examining incidents, root cause analysis), methods (5-whys, fault-tree, evidence collection), and purpose (implement corrective actions, prevent recurrence). Parameters clear, persistence mechanism present.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves incident-investigation: structured process, evidence collection, root-cause determination, corrective actions. Trailer present. Matches entry scope. Good definition.
