Business Question

"An engineer solved this exact fault six months ago — why is tonight's shift solving it again from a blank page?"

What SPoG Does

  • Builds a centralized, searchable record of known errors, workarounds and permanent fixes from resolved tickets.
  • Matches new incidents against known errors automatically and attaches the proven resolution.
  • Keeps entries current by tracking which fixes actually resolve incidents in practice.
