RTO (Recovery Time Objective) Computation

The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) determines the maximum tolerable amount of time it takes to bring critical systems back online, possibly in a Degraded Mode. It is related to downtime, representing target time following an incident for Product or service delivery resumption, or Activity resumption, or Resources recovery.
The algorithm:
• adds up of the weights of the impact types answers for every downtime period, from the smallest downtime period to the highest
• compares this sum with the RTO Threshold.
The RTO Threshold is defined for every downtime period. It consists of the maximum possible values that the BIA answers can have minus 30%.
The computed RTO is the downtime period for which the sum of the answer values is higher than the RTO Threshold.
