For me I want to investigate the possible causes of derailments by inspecting the car and track..I had zero tolerances for derailments on my past ISLs.Oddly I operated a N Scale Unitrack yard switching layout on my dining room table for several weeks and had zero derailments.
At the HO club I use the 2 strike rule for my cars..2 derailments and I remove the offending car until I can check it..At the N Scale club I simply take the offending car to the owner or place it on the RIP shelf and have a car repair notice wrote up.
How well does zero tolerance work?
During the County fair I had 1 "finger"* derailment and 1 break in two in 52 hours of operation.
*A "finger" derailment means a visitor's finger cause the derailment.
