|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | For a critical top event with several possible triggers, the method logically models failure paths. It makes visible which combinations of conditions can lead to damage. | When demand only needs to be roughly verified, it tests interest with minimal effort. It measures whether people would take a next step at all. |
