• means for determining a measure of consistency relative to a network of people components and a network of object components in a socio technical system, the network of people components including components representing people and one or more links between the components representing people, and the network of object components including components representing objects worked on by at least some of the components representing people and one or more links between the components representing objects;
• and
• means for determining a measure of contribution to the measure of consistency for one or more links between said components, based on presence or absence of said one or more links in the social technical system,
