Careful with systems that are subject to any audit, legal or 
regulatory requirements to discuss with auditors and lawyers; or any
interfaces with those systems, especially external systems that may 
not be smearing.
Your bids, nominations, offers, payments, settlements, trades, or 
other transactions may miss deadlines or schedules - businesses may 
lose deals and money, people jobs, and civil or criminal sanctions 
could apply.
