*Outcomes: (A) EPMA (Nervecentre) would reduce the likelihood of this incident occurring without configuration; (B) EPMA (Nervecentre) could reduce the likelihood of this incident occurring with some configuration. (C) EPMA could reduce the likelihood of this incident occurring with development. (D) EPMA could not reduce the likelihood of this incident occurring in any circumstances.
