To identify underlying causes, MERS-TM uses a technique known as root cause analysis (RCA), which is represented as a causal tree.

A causal tree provides a visual representation or diagram of the event that includes all possible causes (and recoveries) gathered during the investigation of the event.

RCA provides a method for uncovering the multiple underlying factors, circumstances, and decisions that contributed to the event in question.
