    What are the questions you ask yourself in order to eliminate false positives?

    As you may begin to suspect, answers fall "in the between". In your typical org, it's between each responsible areas. It's exactly what you dont pay people for, since they are rewarded with unemployment if solving them. Beware though of confusing correllation with causation. Where's the evidence?

    The 'Mother of All Advice' list!

    Don't blindly follow other people's systems, but make it your own. When it's your own, you know it in and out, you can fix it yourself and don't need to rely on anyone else. Be aware that whatever someone else tells you, is incomplete for you.

    What is the wrong advice that you have received?
