For suppliers who send 8Ds to demanding automotive & industrial customers
Catch the REJECT before your customer does.
8D Gate is a skeptical AI reviewer for your 8D — built like a tough customer quality engineer. It stress-tests root cause, evidence, corrective actions, and verification before you hit send.
Pre-send readiness check for 8Ds: ACCEPT / ACCEPT WITH CONDITIONS / REJECT — with a scored rubric, hard gates, and a fix list. Advisory only.
“Insufficient evidence to conclude” beats a confident wrong answer.
Try 8D Gate free. Tell us what’s off.
Paste an 8D and get a skeptical Accept / Conditional / Reject advisory. Free while we learn what helps quality teams. Tell us later what landed and what missed — we are iterating on V0.1.
Why suppliers use it
Unsupported root cause?
Hard stop — not a polite suggestion.
Corrective actions that only treat symptoms?
Flagged and capped.
“Effective” with no D6 data?
You get CONDITIONAL, not a free pass.
Contradictions in your own report?
Called out with quotes from your text.
Never invents evidence.
If it isn’t in the 8D, it says so.
How it works
- 1
Paste or upload
Your English 8D (D1–D8) as PDF, DOCX, or Excel.
- 2
Get a gate review
Decision, score, section ratings, missing evidence, questions to close gaps.
- 3
Fix the list
Then resubmit to 8D Gate or send to your customer with named gaps closed (or accepted).
Decisions you will see
| Decision | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ACCEPT | Defensible to send (minor polish only). |
| ACCEPT WITH CONDITIONS | Close the named gaps first. |
| REJECT | Not ready — hard gate failed and/or score too low. |
Built on a public rubric
Problem definition, containment, root cause, evidence quality, corrective action, verification, prevention, consistency — weighted and capped by critical gates. Cosmetic language does not raise your score.
Who it’s for
Quality engineers, plant SQE liaisons, and supplier quality leads at Tier-1 / Tier-2 plants who cannot afford another “please revise your 8D” loop.
