Frequently asked questions

What data do I need?

A simple extract of your CAPAs, from your quality software or Excel tracking file: at a minimum the number, opening date, target date and closure date. Two years of history give the best reading.

Is my data sent to A-QE?

No. Your file is read and analysed directly in your browser. It isn’t sent to any server and nothing is kept when you close the page. You alone decide, at the end, whether or not to send a summary of your indicators.

How can I be sure my data doesn’t go out on the internet?

The simplest way is to check for yourself: once the tool page has loaded, turn off your internet connection (Wi-Fi off or airplane mode) and upload your file. The analysis works exactly the same way, proof that nothing is sent. And since the extract contains only numbers, dates and statuses, no sensitive information is at stake.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The tool runs in your browser, with no macros or installation: no risk to your computer.

What should I do with my results?

You can save your report as a PDF to share internally, and send us your summary for a free 30-minute debrief with a consultant.
