Multi-Response Fault Tree Analysis — MR-FTA

Multi-response fault tree analysis (MR-FTA) extends classical fault tree analysis to systems where multiple distinct top-level failure events or outcome metrics must be evaluated simultaneously. Rather than constructing a single tree for one top event, the analyst builds and quantifies parallel trees — one per response — then aggregates results to rank critical failure paths across all responses at once, enabling holistic system risk prioritization.
