Impact analysis can be used to identify potential problems before they occur, allowing users to make informed decisions about their data.
  
  How to use it: 
  Impact analysis can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to identify potential problems with data sources and models, as well as to identify potential opportunities for improvement. It can also be used to identify areas where additional data may be needed, or where existing data may need to be modified or updated.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using impact analysis, it is important to remember that it is only as accurate as the data that is being analyzed. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the data being analyzed is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to remember that impact analysis is not a substitute for testing; it should only be used as a tool for identifying potential problems or opportunities.
