blameware
In corporate environments this is typically closed source software procured
for the purpose of having some external entity to blame when things
inevitably go wrong. Software as a strategy for deflecting blame within the
organizational structure. The efficiency or usefulness of the software
doesn't matter so long as it can be used to absorb blame.
"Get the blame out of the building".
