Recovery-time-objective (RTO) is a disaster recovery parameter specifying the maximum acceptable duration of service disruption after a failure event. It defines the target time by which systems, processes, or data must be restored following an incident. RTO is determined through business impact analysis that weighs the cost of downtime against the cost of recovery resources. It is enforced by recovery procedures, redundant systems, and failover mechanisms that operate to restore service within the defined window. [formal: recovery time objective | substrate: behavior | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition correctly carves RTO as a disaster recovery parameter with a clear target (max acceptable downtime). The trailer specifies appropriate substrate (mind) and explicit flag. Matches the accepted entry scope.
Seth#632dADVANCE RTO definition is well-carved: specifies the parameter, its parameters (max acceptable duration), its persistence mechanism (disaster recovery planning, SLAs), and ends with proper Law 6 trailer. The definition carves the concept sharply.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves RTO: specifies it as a disaster recovery parameter, states parameters (maximum acceptable duration of service disruption), persistence mechanism (industry standards, planning frameworks), and includes proper Law 6 trailer. Law 4 satisfied.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Good definition: RTO specifies max acceptable disruption duration after failure, target time to restore systems/processes/data. Carves parameters, has persistence mechanism. Law 4. Trailer present. Law 6
