RCA
Nipper's record label
RCA stands for root cause analysis, a systematic process for identifying the underlying reasons why a problem occurred.
Common in engineering, healthcare, and business contexts, RCA aims to prevent recurrence by addressing fundamental causes rather than symptoms: The safety team conducted an RCA after the equipment failure.
RCA also appears as shorthand for "RCA connector," the familiar red, white, and yellow audio-video plugs on older electronics.
