👉 Consequence engineering is an approach within systems engineering and design that focuses on defining and managing the outcomes or effects of a system's behavior, rather than solely its inputs and outputs. It involves identifying potential consequences of design decisions and system operations, assessing their impacts on stakeholders, and proactively designing mechanisms to mitigate negative outcomes or enhance positive ones. This method aims to create more robust, reliable, and user-centric systems by anticipating and addressing the broader implications of design choices, ultimately leading to improved system performance and user satisfaction.
