Question

A BIA "report" is a single slide of clip art with no estimates of how impact grows over time if functions stay down. Why is that inadequate?

Accepted Answer

Decision-useful BIA outputs need clear impact-over-time insight, not decoration — Pretty pictures don't tell the mayor when the permit desk collapse becomes a crisis. Decision-makers need "if this stays down, here's how bad it gets and how fast" — that's the point of a BIA report.

Answer

Clip art slides are preferred because executives cannot interpret time-to-impact data

Answer

BIA reports must omit downtime effects to remain vendor-neutral

Answer

Impact-over-time estimates are only used in marketing, never in continuity planning
