Make-Buy, Outsourcing & Network Design worked example
Network Resilience Score with network resilience severity score of 3 score: a worked example
Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop network resilience severity score to 3 score, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate network resilience for make-buy, outsourcing and network design using production-ready inputs so teams can rank risks and decide which issue needs containment, controls, or escalation first.
The inputs for this scenario
- Network resilience severity score: 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
- Network resilience occurrence score: 4 score (held at the documented default)
- Network resilience detection score: 3 score (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Network resilience risk score = network resilience severity score × network resilience occurrence score × network resilience detection score.
- Network resilience risk score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Network resilience severity score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
- Network resilience occurrence score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
- Network resilience detection score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
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 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
- The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to network resilience severity score, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It is ordinal, not absolute — a score of 72 is not twice as risky as 36, and the result is only as good as the consistency of your rating scale.
