Root cause: Operator-3 raised Stringer 1 tension 4.2 → 4.7 N at 08:35, citing ribbon batch quality. Recommendation declined; tension reverted at 09:18 after CUSUM action threshold. 8 modules processed in the 43-minute window.

Cluster Bayesian coherence — is this one cluster or many?
Confidence that all 8 modules share a single causal root:88%
Predicted signature
Branching crack near busbar in cells from elevated-tension window
Observed signature
5 of 8 modules show busbar-adjacent crack; 1 unaffected, 2 marginal
Average signature match across affected modules: 76%. High coherence means the defects look like the same phenomenon — strong evidence of a common cause.

Cluster-wide recommendations
Joint review with Operator-3 on ribbon-batch attribution heuristics
shift
Operator's ribbon-batch hypothesis was reasonable but multifactorial; in-the-moment tension reduction would have been the highest-leverage action.
→ Better calibration of operator competing-priorities decisions.
Auto-correlate ribbon batch and tension SPC in real time
process
Decouples 'is it ribbon?' vs 'is it tension?' for the operator.
→ Faster root-cause attribution.
This cluster page shows how a single upstream excursion produces a coherent pattern across many modules. In production, every excursion that exceeds SPC thresholds is automatically grouped into a cluster, and cluster-level analysis runs continuously.
