  Rebuild Hierarchy: If there are multiple inconsistencies, consider rebuilding the risk hierarchy to ensure that all nodes and their relationships are correctly defined.
  
  
  Review Changes: If recent changes were made to the risk hierarchy or rules, review those changes to identify any potential misconfigurations.
