It works well for me too.

I've learned to extend the "how are they getting money from this?" question into a generalized, first-principles thinking - look at the incentive structures and think about what they imply, about what's the expected behavior of a system running under those incentives. Because while not everything is about the money, systems will evolve over time along the lines of the incentives contained in them.
