Scenario Design for Continuity

Simulating vendor, network, and facility failures to harden plans before capital is locked.

Rehearse failure early

Continuity is earned by practice. Run tabletop and automated drills for outages, latency spikes, AI-agent misbehavior, and disinformation campaigns. If you haven’t rehearsed it, you’re not ready for it.

Tie drills to data controls

Map each scenario to AI-ready data controls—lineage, bias mitigation, governance. If the controls collapse under stress, fix them before production does the testing for you.

Put numbers on recovery

Quantify recovery time, data loss tolerance, and cost impact. Continuity plans without numbers rarely survive budget cycles. The cost of preparedness is always lower than the cost of uncontrolled downtime.

sys3(a)i POV: We approach critical systems work by stress-testing architectures, integrating observability and governance from day one, and designing sovereign or edge footprints where independence and continuity matter most.

What to do next

Identify where this applies in your stack, map dependencies and failure modes, and align observability and governance before committing capital. Need help? Engage sys3(a)i.
