Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When servers crash at midnight, who's awake to see the cost?
Revenue streams disrupted, customer trust forever lost
Map your digital backbone, every database and app
Calculate the hourly bleeding when your infrastructure snaps

[Chorus]
B-I-A, what breaks first matters most
Recovery Time Objective, don't let critical systems ghost
Maximum Tolerable Downtime, count the minutes, feel the pain
Priority matrix sorted, get the vital flowing again

[Verse 2]
Finance can't process payroll, sales can't close another deal
Marketing's campaigns frozen, operations grinding to a heel
Score each function's urgency on a scale from one to ten
Cross-reference dependencies, see which dominos fall when

[Chorus]
B-I-A, what breaks first matters most
Recovery Time Objective, don't let critical systems ghost
Maximum Tolerable Downtime, count the minutes, feel the pain
Priority matrix sorted, get the vital flowing again

[Bridge]
Gold tier systems first to rise
Silver next, then bronze replies
Document every pathway home
Recovery procedures etched in stone

[Verse 3]
Stakeholders revealing secrets, what they absolutely need
Email down for seven minutes? HR barely starts to bleed
But accounting locked from ledgers? Panic spreads through C-suite halls
Quantify each business function before disaster calls

[Final Chorus]
B-I-A, what breaks first matters most
Recovery Time Objective, don't let critical systems ghost
Maximum Tolerable Downtime, count the minutes, feel the pain
Priority matrix sorted, keep the business engine's reign

[Outro]
When the digital earthquake strikes
You'll know exactly what to save
Business Impact Analysis
Separates the weak from brave
