Root cause analysis

Trace every anomaly to its source on a single timeline.

Sync runs, build calculated channels inline, and share the finding with one link.

“Sift spared us from heavy internal tool investment and unified our data management. It provides a complete stack that's intuitively accessible, plus we get an advanced, supportive team behind it, so it really wasn't a question for us.”

—Niraj Patel, Mission Operations Lead

Where investigations happen

One workspace for every step of the investigation.

Work across live panels, run comparison, high-rate review, and calculated channels in one workspace. Reach root cause in the same flow.

See every signal at nanosecond precision.

Drag any channel onto any panel, then sync the panels so a single cursor moves across the whole view. Zoom from a full test to a single control cycle with the context intact.

Build a calculated channel in seconds.

Combine multiple channels into a new signal using rolling averages, ratios, or any expression you can write. Save the calculation in the investigation so any teammate can reuse it.

Compare runs, aligned to the moment that matters.

Pick any event you define: touchdown, ignition, or any waypoint. Watch every run snap into alignment.

Two runs, synced, root cause in minutes.

"I had a test that passed and a test that failed, the same test run two different times. I put the two runs synced up on top of each other so I could step through the telemetry and see when they started diverging and why."

—Alex Maynard, Senior Software Engineer, Parallel Systems

Quick math, right in the platform.

"We have a flow meter with a totalizer. I wanted to subtract out the beginning-of-the-day amount to see exactly what we used that day. Being able to just quickly throw in that initial number, everything was normalized to what I wanted to look at. It's been helpful for quick looks at telemetry."

—Cooper Brooks, Propulsion Test Engineer, Impulse Space

Close investigations under FAA review.

Close root-cause investigations with the evidence regulators need already in the workspace. Trusted by Reliable Robotics for FAA certification work.

Purpose-built for hardware investigations

Three things Sift does that generic tools cannot.

Overlay 200 past tests on one event.

Pick any event in the run (ignition, touchdown, control cycle) and overlay related runs against it. Handled in the comparison view in seconds, ready for anyone on the team.

Find any channel the way the hardware is built.

Navigate through your subsystem and assembly hierarchy in the channel tree. Find a signal in seconds, even across thousands of channels.

Hand off the investigation with one link.

Send a link that opens on the exact panel, time range, and axis limits you set, with the layout saved. Build institutional knowledge that travels with the team.

See Sift with your data.

Bring a sample of your telemetry to a 30-minute working session. Our engineers will plot your CSVs, ULOGs, or TDMS files live and show you what Sift does on a real investigation.
