The likely outcome of using the assistance of a team member who treats symptoms rather than root causes is that any fix provided will be short-lived. Treating symptoms without addressing the underlying root causes can lead to temporary solutions that do not fully resolve the problem. This means that the issue is likely to resurface in the future, as the underlying cause has not been addressed.
