Map relevant questions into existing records; identify open decisions.

## Impact and objectives

Who is affected by interruption or lost work? Agree recovery time and recovery point objectives.

## State and failure scope

What must survive restart? What must be restored consistently after wider failure?

## Copies and dependencies

Identify recovery copies, protection, keys, software versions, locations and responsible operators.

## Reconciliation

How are missing or uncertain results resolved, and competing writers stopped?

## Authority to resume

Who verifies technical restoration and accepts the operating position?

## Exercise and findings

Record scenario, versions, actual duration, data loss, unresolved matters and next decision.
