One synthetic facility, two assessments
The example is invented to demonstrate the arithmetic. No customer has been rated and no measured performance is claimed. Both assessments use the same scope and complete evidence. The starting readiness is 70.8333, displayed as 71. After documented improvements it is 84.375, displayed as 84.
What changed
| Pillar | Weight | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detection | 15% | 83.33 | 83.33 |
| Protection | 25% | 62.50 | 83.33 |
| Continuity | 25% | 66.67 | 87.50 |
| Response | 20% | 83.33 | 83.33 |
| Recovery | 15% | 62.50 | 83.33 |
The baseline intentionally includes a failed critical power-control example. The overall score remains arithmetic, while the failure is prominent. The later synthetic record closes that example and improves selected protection and recovery controls. Other controls can still remain below demonstrated level.
What did not change
The illustrative fog record stays at 72 of 8,000 valid sampled hours below a defined threshold. That is 0.9% of valid sampled hours and about 91.3% hourly coverage of a non-leap year. These invented station counts are not a forecast probability or a measurement at every point of a facility.
Try both records
Use Load 71 example and Load 84 example in the assessment workbench. Inspect the same exposure entry, the changed control levels and the critical-gap list. Then expire one evidence item or remove its reference to see coverage change. Export includes the synthetic label and all entered evidence.
Open the worked exampleInterpret the change correctly
The increase measures readiness under this rubric. It does not demonstrate a 13% reduction in losses, guarantee continuity or establish the effectiveness of a weather intervention. The value is a clearer account of capability and the next evidence needed.
