Tripod Software
The Tripod Beta methodology is supported by dedicated software solutions that help organisations conduct investigations more efficiently and capture learning from incidents:
Salus Technical: Tripod Beta in Incident Insight
Incident Insight by Salus is a digital investigation platform that enables organisations to apply Tripod Beta in a structured, collaborative environment. It enables teams to create clear and consistent diagrams while linking evidence, actions, and findings within a single workspace.
Incident Insight allows teams to:
- Build and edit Tripod Beta diagrams digitally
- Visualise barrier failures and causal pathways clearly
- Link evidence, actions, and findings directly to diagram elements
- Collaborate on investigations in real time
- Maintain a single, centralised record of the investigation
For accredited practitioners:
Incident insight provides a practical working environment for Tripod Beta trainers and trainees. Trainees can build diagrams, classify basic risk factors, and document causation pathways in the same tool they will use in practice.
Your method, curriculum and assessment approach remain unchanged, while the software provides the structure to support delivery and review.

Wolters Kluwer: Tripod Beta in BowTieXP
BowTieXP is a digital tool that supports the structured application of Tripod Beta, enabling users to analyse complex incidents and visualise causation pathways in a clear and consistent way. The software guides users through the key steps of a Tripod Beta analysis, helping to build complete diagrams and generate actionable insights.
BowTieXP allows users to:
- Build Tripod Beta diagrams step by step
- Map event sequences and barrier failures
- Visualise causation pathways, including immediate causes, preconditions, and underlying causes
- Update and rearrange diagrams as investigations develop
- Generate graphical outputs and analysis reports
BowTieXP helps organisations move from describing incidents to understanding them. By highlighting missing elements and linking causes clearly, the software supports the development of practical actions to prevent recurrence.
