Transparent business scenario
Downtime Cost Scenario
Estimate an event from unrecovered unit contribution, incremental time-based costs and one-time incident costs. Revenue is not treated as loss, and every assumption remains visible.
Scenario result
This is an explicit user-defined scenario identity. The first term is unrecovered unit contribution, the second is incremental cost that accrues with event duration, and the third is one-time incident cost. Currency selection changes the label only; it performs no exchange-rate conversion.
Il US Internal Revenue Service defines gross profit as sales revenue less cost of goods sold. That distinction illustrates why sales price or gross production value should not automatically be labelled downtime cost. Choose a contribution basis consistent with your own management accounts and decision.
Removed claims: the former formula treated full product value as loss and then added labour, which could equate revenue with profit and double count cost. Its FAQ also contained an empty “world-class” target and an unsourced claim that every 1 currency unit of maintenance saves 5–10 units of downtime cost. Those claims and generic presets were removed.
