https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model (kind of), pretty standard nowadays way in SRE to talk about root causes (plural) because usually it's more than one specific thing.



There's some serious academic critique of the Swiss Cheese model, too.

That said, I rather like it. It's straightforward to explain to people, they very quickly "get" it, and it gets them thinking along the right lines.
