Initial Root Cause Sample Clauses

The 'Initial Root Cause' clause defines the process for identifying the primary reason behind a problem or failure at the outset of an investigation. Typically, this clause outlines the steps parties must take to determine and document the underlying cause, such as gathering evidence, consulting relevant experts, or conducting preliminary analyses. By establishing a clear method for pinpointing the initial root cause, the clause helps ensure that subsequent actions, responsibilities, and remedies are based on an accurate understanding of the issue, thereby reducing disputes and facilitating effective resolution.
