Executive summary

Sample analysis of power dependencies, supply-chain exposure, and fallback architecture under stress.

Why it matters

Infrastructure services can fail even when their primary operational technology remains healthy because upstream dependencies are unavailable.

Potential operational consequences

Loss of upstream power or communications can disable otherwise healthy operational technology and delay recovery.

Recommended actions

• — Map upstream dependencies
• — Verify manual fallback
• — Exercise restoration priorities
