Commercial continuity
Framing outage cost without fake precision
How facilities can talk about spoiled product, idle labor, and restart time without inventing a single “cost of downtime” number.
Executives often ask for one number: the cost of an hour down. That number is usually a pile of unlike things—product loss, labor, restart, reputational risk—compressed until it looks scientific.
Better practice: list the processes that actually stop, the time they take to recover, and whether the loss is spoiled goods, idle payroll, or missed orders. Label each line estimated or measured.
The commercial continuity calculator can explore Iran Full-pack ranges for energy and peak context. It will not bless a board slide that pretends residual risk is zero.
Engineering then sizes storage and solar to the processes you named, not to a slogan about “always on.”
