Business Continuity Exercise Generator — illustrative example

INPUT
Business continuity tabletop scenario: main supplier feed unavailable for two days. No live system changes authorized.

RESULT
Exercise sequence:
1. Detection: who confirms the feed outage and records its start?
2. Immediate response: which updates should pause, and who owns that decision?
3. Day one: which previously received data remains usable under the actual process?
4. Day two: how are affected teams informed of unresolved changes?
5. Recovery: what validation must pass before updates resume?
Record answers, ownership gaps and follow-up actions. This is a discussion exercise, not an instruction to alter systems.

REVIEW
A continuity exercise tests decisions and handoffs under a defined scenario. Do not treat the draft as proof that recovery procedures will work.

This is a teaching example, not a live execution record.
