Explanation

Ensuring that other team members understand how a script works is essential to prevent a single point of failure. If only one person knows how the script operates, the organization risks being unable to maintain or troubleshoot it if that person is unavailable. Sharing knowledge ensures continuity and reduces dependence on one individual. Reducing implementation cost and remediating technical debt are secondary considerations in Identifying complexity is important, but the main benefit is to avoid a single point of failure.
