OOT

Out Of Trend

Lab result inside spec but drifting — early warning of process drift.

Out Of Trend (OOT) results are inside spec but statistically unusual relative to the historical pattern. SPC charts (X-bar, R, CUSUM) catch them early so you can intervene before an OOS. V5's SPC module flags OOT automatically against the rolling baseline.
