Catch what's missing before your OEM does.

FineToothed is a disciplined second set of eyes on your quality documents — a human-run review that flags what's missing, weak, or risky before a submission, a PPAP package, or an IATF audit.

REVIEW

A missed item costs far more than a review.

PPAP

A rejected package delays your program and your revenue.

Warranty

An undetected failure mode returns as field claims.

Recall

The worst-case miss reaches the customer's customer.

IATF audit

A gap against the standard becomes a finding.

How it works

STEP 01

Send one document

A DFMEA, a PPAP element, a control plan, a DVP&R — whatever's about to go out. We sign an NDA first and don't retain it.

STEP 02

We review it, by hand

A human runs our FT1/FT2 lens harness against the current standards — completeness, traceability, RPN sanity, missing failure modes, cross-document consistency.

STEP 03

You get a findings report

Each issue with its section, severity, and why it matters — plus a catch-rate summary. Issue-spotting to support your team, not advice.

Send us one document. We'll show you what a second pass finds.
