The company outlines a three-stage process to work its magic:

1. Detecting failures through analysis of system messages, by focusing on specific patterns generated just before previous failures occurred.

2. Detection of potential failures that do not generate messages. The Lab addresses the potential for human error here, by gathering and analyzing packets and minor changes on the packet level.

3. Narrowing down the causes of failure by making inferences "about the most likely areas that have generated" the signs of failure.
