What is the typical cost of a Root Cause Analysis?
Costs vary depending on complexity, industry, and geographic deployment. Simple cases involving limited scope may require targeted technical evaluation, while complex, multi-party disputes involving laboratory testing, modelling, and cross-border coordination demand significantly more resources. At AGI, cost structures are aligned with investigation depth, urgency, and litigation requirements, ensuring clients only invest in necessary forensic rigor. Importantly, the cost of not conducting a proper RCA often far exceeds the investigation itself — particularly when insurance claims, legal disputes, or operational failures escalate.
How long does a Root Cause Analysis take?
Timeframes depend on the nature of the incident. Initial findings may be available within days for urgent cases, while comprehensive RCA involving laboratory testing and modelling may take several weeks. AGI prioritizes rapid deployment and phased reporting, enabling stakeholders to make immediate decisions while deeper analysis continues. For litigation-sensitive cases, timelines are aligned with legal requirements.
Can you handle cross-border investigations?
Yes. AGI operates across ASEAN and the Middle East, with experience in multi-jurisdictional investigations. This includes managing regulatory differences, coordinating with local authorities, and ensuring evidence admissibility across jurisdictions. Our teams are structured to handle cross-border complexity efficiently.
Is your RCA report admissible in court?
AGI’s reports are structured to meet litigation standards, including evidence documentation, methodology transparency, and expert validation. Reports are designed to withstand scrutiny in arbitration, legal proceedings, and insurance disputes.
Do you provide expert witness testimony?
Yes. Our experts can support legal teams by providing independent, technically defensible testimony. This includes report clarification, cross-examination support, and advisory roles during litigation.
What industries do you specialize in?
AGI serves high-risk industries including oil & gas, power generation, infrastructure, manufacturing, and marine. Our multidisciplinary team ensures technical depth across sectors.
How quickly can you mobilize?
For critical incidents, deployment can be initiated within hours, depending on location. Rapid response is essential to preserve evidence and control investigation integrity.
Will this support insurance claims?
Yes. Our RCA reports are aligned with insurance requirements and are frequently used to support claim validation, dispute resolution, and liability determination.

AGI specializes in multi-party investigations, ensuring objective analysis and clear attribution of causation and responsibility.
