Try to break down all the damage in your scientific or business process into parts. Write them in a column and evaluate each item. Rank the items by significance and apply the following questions to the top five:
1. Can you easily compensate for this damage?
2. Can this damage be sold?
3. Can the entire system affected by the damage be sold?
4. Is there a party that could benefit from this damage?
5. Is there something good about this damage that could be utilized?
As soon as you find a "yes" answer, do it!
