Crude as the title may read or sound, I could not think of anything more apt to convey what I intend to.
The other day while surfing on YouTube I happened to catch glimpse of a scene from the movie "Rush" where Nicky Lauda meets his wife Marlene. That "Rush" happens to be one of my favourite movie was all the more reason to play it.
Wanting to escape from a party Nicky (N) is offered lift by Marlene (M) to the nearest station. The following is the conversation that ensues along the way.

My What?your foot goes all the way down,And when you brake, which means there's air in the system.the rear brakes are worn out,- Anything else? - No. Apart from the front right tyre's a bit soft,- Sorry?which explains why you're weaving so much.

M - What are you doing?
N
-You hear that noise when you accelerate?
M
- No.
N
- Your fan belt is loose.
M
- My What?
N
- And when you brake, your foot goes all the way down, which means there's air
in the system.
M
- Anything else?
N
- No. Apart from the rear brakes are worn out, the front right tyre's a bit
soft, which explains why you're weaving so much.
M
- Hmm. How can you tell?
N
- My ass.
M
- Sorry?
N
- God gave me an okay mind, but a really good ass, which can feel everything in
a car.
M
- You don't know what you're talking about. This car is fine. I just had a
service a week ago.
N
- Not a good one.
M - Yes, a very good one, very expensive. This car is as good as new. Relax.
Not
in a hurry, are you?
N
- No. As long as I'm back in Maranello Monday morning.

The conversation though has interesting insights for businesses.
First you don't have to be in the drivers seat to know what's wrong. Just because you are not in the driver's seat does not mean you can't influence the way the car is being driven. To be able to do that....well you just need a good a** or sound understanding of what's going around. With your ears and eyes wide open you can predict which way things are bound to go. It is easier said than done though. For you need to be deeply immersed into how well oiled things are and yet at the same time not be blinded by them. That's where Nicky scores and we falter. Expertise, rather than blinding you to what is obvious, should help you look beyond the obvious and to the contrary.
Second, just because you have carried out all the checks does not mean everything is hunk dory. The intent and the intensity of checks matters a lot. If those checks are not pointing where or what they ought to nor raising any red flags where necessary then you are sure to end in the middle of nowhere. This is where actually the a** matters. Based on where you have got it placed is it getting you the real picture even if it is contrary to the prevalent belief is the question that needs to be answered.
