What is What If?
"What if" analysis is a technique used to explore the potential outcomes of different decisions or scenarios. It involves changing inputs or assumptions in a model or situation to see how the outputs or results are affected. It's commonly used in business, finance, and personal planning to assess risks, evaluate options, and make better-informed decisions. It can be done mentally, or by using software and models.

HAZOP
HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study) is a structured technique for identifying potential hazards and operating problems. While more structured than a What-If analysis, it serves a similar purpose and can be used in conjunction with or after a What-If analysis to provide a more comprehensive risk assessment.
