    Business Continuity Exercise Designer

    Example session with this skill installed

    Design a 60-minute tabletop exercise for a fintech firm losing its primary payment gateway. Include 4 injects, participant roles for the Ops team, and an evidence log template.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the business continuity exercise

    I have designed a 60-minute business continuity tabletop exercise focused on a payment gateway outage. The pack includes timed injects to test escalation and manual workarounds, along with a structured log for capturing decision evidence.

    Business Continuity Exercise Pack

    1. Exercise Charter

    • Service: Merchant Payment Processing
    • Format: Tabletop (Discussion-based simulation)
    • Duration: 60 Minutes
    • Assumption: Secondary gateway is available but requires manual configuration changes.

    2. Objectives & Success Criteria

    ObjectiveSuccess Evidence
    EscalationIncident ticket timestamped within 10 minutes of alert.
    Failover DecisionSigned-off decision log for switching to secondary provider.
    CommunicationDrafted customer notification message reviewed by Legal.

    5. Assessment Rubric

    • Score 3: Demonstrated with documented artifact.
    • Score 2: Demonstrated via verbal explanation of existing SOP.
    • Score 1: Action attempted but failed to meet RTO.
    • Score 0: No action taken.
    • N/T: Not tested/out of scope.

    Next steps

    1. Assign a scribe to use the Evidence Log during the session.
    2. Confirm if the Secondary Gateway login credentials are accessible to the Ops team.
    3. Schedule a 15-minute pre-brief with the exercise sponsor.

    About this skill

    Standardized business continuity exercises often fail because they lack realistic pressure or observable evidence. This skill bridges the gap between hypothetical planning and operational reality by designing controlled, credible simulations that test specific decision-making under pressure. It transforms generic outage scripts into structured exercise packs complete with timed injects, facilitator guides, and evidence-based scoring rubrics.

    What it does

    • Scenario design builds bounded disruption narratives for premises loss, supplier failure, or system outages.
    • Inject creation develops timed event cards that force specific decisions and complications.
    • Role definition assigns clear responsibilities for participants, facilitators, scribes, and observers.
    • Evidence logging structures templates to capture decisions, timestamps, and artifacts in real-time.
    • Objective scoring applies pre-agreed rubrics to demonstrated actions while marking untested areas as N/T.
    • Audit reporting reviews existing exercise reports to separate documented evidence from verbal assumptions.

    How it works

    1. Scope definition establishes the service, duration, simulation boundaries, and safety constraints.
    2. Objective mapping identifies 4-8 observable success criteria based on recovery time objectives (RTO).
    3. Pack generation produces the full suite of inject cards, facilitator run sheets, and log templates.
    4. Review and refine analyzes draft results or existing reports to identify gaps in operational validation.

    Frameworks & tools

    The skill follows structured business continuity management (BCM) principles. It generates outputs compatible with standard risk management software and document suites, focusing on practical artifacts for operations and resilience teams.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Generic prompts often produce theatrical scenarios that lack technical depth or measurable outcomes. This skill enforces rigorous safety rules and evidence-based scoring, ensuring you don't mistake a "good discussion" for a successful recovery test.

    Use cases

    • Design a 90-minute tabletop for a critical supplier outage during peak demand.
    • Create a walkthrough simulation for a secondary data center failover.
    • Audit a completed exercise report to verify if recovery claims match observed evidence.
    • Build a scenario to test internal communication protocols during a staff unavailability crisis.

    Known limitations

    Does not trigger live system changes or cyberattacks. Requires user-provided recovery objectives to avoid arbitrary success thresholds. Output provides management evidence, not regulatory certification.

    Cannot trigger live system shutdowns or phishing. Requires user-supplied RTO/RPO values to avoid To Confirm labels. Does not provide ISO 22301 or regulatory compliance certification.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The skill generates a comprehensive 'Exercise Pack' including a chronological master scenario events list (MSEL), timed inject cards, facilitator guides, participant role descriptions, and evidence-logging templates.

    While most AI prompts create stories, this skill uses a structured BCM framework to focus on measurable recovery time objectives (RTOs) and enforces evidence logging to prove a capability actually exists.

    The skill provides standardized scoring rubrics and audit templates that help you distinguish between what was actually demonstrated during a test versus what was simply discussed or assumed.

    Yes, the skill is designed to be platform-agnostic; its outputs are provided in structured text and table formats that can be easily integrated into risk management software or standard office suites.

    For safety and security, the skill does not execute live technical scripts or interact with your infrastructure; it creates the structured plan and documentation for human-led simulations.

    Updates are delivered through the marketplace to ensure the logic remains aligned with current resilience standards and best practices for operational risk reporting.
