Make-Buy, Outsourcing & Network Design worked example
Network Resilience Score with network resilience severity score of 15 score: a worked example
Push network resilience severity score up to 15 score and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when network resilience in make-buy, outsourcing and network design needs a defensible ranking against other make-buy, outsourcing and network design risks for the next review.
The inputs for this scenario
- Network resilience severity score: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
- Network resilience occurrence score: 4 score (unchanged)
- Network resilience detection score: 3 score (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Network resilience risk score = network resilience severity score × network resilience occurrence score × network resilience detection score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for network resilience risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for network resilience severity score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for network resilience occurrence score.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for network resilience detection score.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where network resilience severity score sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
- It multiplies severity, occurrence, and detection ratings into a single risk priority score for a network failure mode. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
