thank you, maybe it is easier to understand

when you ask whether business will halt and die if the system you are responsible for is down or suddenly absent

or

it is going to be a mild inconvenience.

I think, defined like this makes it less ambiguous

edit: fix msg

This is a great way to put it.

I also ask myself the question: "who are the rockstars" at a company. The folks that are celebrated.

If it isn't a developer/engineer, you aren't at a category 2 company.

thank you, I've got something to think about.
this is a good way of putting it, thanks, it is also a good way of assessing ones one value to a company (if i disappear tomorrow, will it mostly be a minor inconvenience or will there be a DEFCON 1 response raised)
