Why this formula appears here
A catalogue is not a triage plan. The ten differ enormously in how much damage accrues before anyone notices, and instrumentation effort should follow that rather than follow which failure is most interesting to write about. For a mode i with arrival rate , mean time to detection , and cost per undetected instance , the loss accrued before intervention is approximately
