Baby steps please. If this doesn't even 'find and fix' the obvious
broken stuff then why go further with it. If it does find and fix only
sometimes then it needs fixing before going to the next. If it works
fine and has side effects of fixing other issues then why add to it.

In the end, this and all other items are technical fixes which rarely
(that I am aware of) fix personnel issues. As long as certain people
fly off the handle just because another person is in the room, no
amount of policies, procedures, and technology is going to make it
better.
