The situation
- Organisation
- Dunmore Building Services (fictional)
- Who is asking
- Head of business continuity
- Industry
- Construction services
- What happened
- A flood has closed the regional depot for three weeks, and the head of continuity needs to know what that stops.
The question asked
If the regional depot is unavailable, which services stop and which carry on with a workaround?
What it reads, and who can see the result
- Business impact analysis registerServices and their dependencies on sites and systems.

- Does not read
- Customer or staff records.
- Permission
- Continuity team access.
- Who sees it
- The head of continuity and the COO.
Try it
Fail one or more items and see what stops and what only degrades, worked out by following the dependencies.
Choose what is unavailable. Hard dependencies stop with it; soft ones carry on, degraded.

The answer
Simulated answer. Written for this fictional case, not produced by a live model. Only the figures in it are computed, from what you decided above.
With none unavailable, 0 service(s) stop and 0 carry on degraded.
Following the dependencies, losing none stops none and degrades none [S1][S2]. The most critical site in this map is Regional depot, which stops 3 other item(s).
Emergency repairs depend on parts, and the parts are in the flooded building: that is the first thing to recover. Planned maintenance can be rescheduled; apprentice training has a workaround in the register.

Review and approval
The head of business continuity decides. Approving sets the recovery order for the incident. It does not move stock or vehicles.
Not ready to approve. Fail at least one item first, to see what depends on it.
In the product this is a different person with the right permission. Here you play that role to see the rule.
What it produces
Limits of this example
- The analysis is only as current as its last review.
- Shows consequence, not recovery time.
- This is a scripted demonstration on fictional data. No model was called and no real organisation, person or result is shown.
