Root Cause Analysis

// Very simple root cause analysis rules

#root cause

* "What else produces {this}?"
* "What else does {this} produce?"
*(,) "What lies on the line? What does {from} produce that allows it to {effect} {to}"
*(,) "Other than {from}, is there another factor in the process of {this}?"
*(,) "Does the action of {this} produce anything else?"
*(,) "Are there any other effects of {this}?"

See this example, which pictorially illustrates the questions that the rules are generating. See how it matches the output generated.
