Root Cause Intelligence Explained

Root Cause Intelligence is a feature within the Clinical Insight section of a case. It analyzes the case signals and surfaces possible physiological drivers worth investigating.

What It Does

After Detected Patterns identifies clinical themes, Root Cause Intelligence asks: What underlying systems might be contributing to these patterns?

It produces a short list of possible root drivers, each with:

  • A confidence level (high, medium, low)

  • The signals from the case that support that hypothesis

  • A brief clinical explanation

Example Output

For a case with fatigue, digestive complaints, and sugar cravings:

  • Gut microbiome imbalance — High confidence

    Signals: digestive symptoms, metabolic cluster, notes mentioning bloating

  • Blood sugar dysregulation — Medium confidence

    Signals: sugar cravings, energy crashes, metabolic pattern

  • Chronic stress / HPA axis strain — Medium confidence

    Signals: fatigue pattern, adrenal markers in notes

What It Is Not

Root Cause Intelligence is a clinical reasoning assistant, not a diagnostic engine. It highlights possibilities based on available signals — your clinical judgment determines which are relevant for this patient.

When It Works Best

Root Cause Intelligence becomes more useful when cases include:

  • Specific symptom clusters

  • Detailed clinical notes

  • Lab markers or uploaded lab panels

Availability

Root Cause Intelligence is available on paid plans and appears within the Clinical Insight section of a case.
