    The Swiss Cheese Model is a risk management tool demonstrating layers of active failures and latent
    conditions. Each slice, or layer, of risk mitigation has holes, representing weaknesses or potential failures.
    When the holes in each layer align, a trajectory of failure can pass through all the defenses, leading to a
    possible accident.
