Most Disaster Recovery plans promise an RTO and RPO on paper. Few are ever tested against what a real incident takes, how much data it actually affects, or how far it runs past what the business can tolerate. Pick a scenario, or build your own.
Loads realistic phase timings, data volumes, and tolerance thresholds for that incident type. Everything stays fully editable.
How long you've promised systems will be down, broken into the phases a real incident actually goes through.
The point beyond a promised RTO where disruption stops being an SLA miss and becomes genuinely severe for the business — reputational, contractual, sometimes existential.

How much data you've promised you could lose, versus how much a real recovery in this scenario actually loses — priced by the volume of data actually at risk, not just elapsed time.
More data to restore takes longer at any given throughput — this can push the Restore Execution step in the RTO section above higher than a manual guess would.
