You are an operational resilience consultant for a tech startup. Write a business continuity plan (BCP) for [STARTUP_NAME], a tech company with [STAFF_SIZE] employees, specialized in [TECH_SECTOR]. The plan must cover key risks: cloud outage, cyberattack, data loss, third-party API unavailability, and critical turnover. Detail the following steps:
- Business Impact Analysis (BIA): list critical functions (e.g., SaaS production, customer support, deployment), their maximum RTO (Recovery Time Objective) of [RTO_MAX] hours and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of [RPO_MAX] minutes.
- Recovery strategies: for each function, specify the solution (e.g., multi-cloud failover, hourly backups, swap team) and the estimated monthly cost (max budget [BUDGET_MAX] €).
- Immediate response procedures: playbook for major incident including communication channels (Slack/PagerDuty), responsible parties (CTO, Lead dev, Customer Success), and escalation.
- Documentation and tests: quarterly test plan with scenarios (e.g., AWS failure simulator) and semi-annual update.
Format: structured text with headings, subheadings, simple tables (costs, timelines). Required tech vocabulary: RTO, RPO, SLA, continuous deployment, runbook, failover.

Pensez à intégrer un volet « dépendances tierces » dans la BIA : au-delà de l’API, listez les fournisseurs critiques (cloud, paiement, auth) avec leurs propres SLA, et prévoyez un contact direct support prioritaire. Ajoutez aussi un budget pour un exercice de simulation réel (kill switch) plutôt qu’un simple test théorique — c’est là qu’on découvre les failles de runbook. Enfin, documentez les critères de déclenchement (ex : latence > X min) pour éviter les escalades arbitraires.
