Abstract
Apparatus and methods for reducing infrastructure failure rates. The apparatus and methods may compile and store data related to the organizational segments associated with the approval and implementation of an infrastructure change. Variables may be derived from the data using a range of methods, and multiple variable values may be consolidated. A model may be developed based on the values and relationships of the derived variables. The model may be applied to assess the risk involved in a prospective infrastructure change.
