Description
Subtract targetRecoveryHours from measuredRecoveryHours for gapHours and compare measured ≤ target for meetsSuppliedTarget.
Security administration uses retention periods, control owners, acknowledgments, recovery targets, and test records. Arithmetic and labels can make these records consistent, but they do not demonstrate that a control works or that a policy is adequate.
Subtract targetRecoveryHours from measuredRecoveryHours for gapHours and compare measured ≤ target for meetsSuppliedTarget.
When to use this tool
Use Continuity Task Recovery Gap when you need a narrow security-record calculation or formatter under supplied policy values.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter targetRecoveryHours, measuredRecoveryHours. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read gapHours, meetsSuppliedTarget. Inspect meetsSuppliedTarget before interpreting the associated values.

}Limitations and assumptions
- A negative gap is spare time, not delay; the target and measurement do not establish a validated continuity plan or service recovery.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the complete control evidence, applicable policy, and operational tests before making a security decision.
