The widget company has a back up generator that can keep production at the entire facility running for twenty-four hours straight (or longer if more diesel fuel is brought in).

- business critical
- mission critical
- important
A: business critical
If right: That is correct. In this situation there is no loss of life, loss of revenue, or severe customer dissatisfaction. The company has planned ahead to prepare for this type of situation and has bought and installed the generator system. The outage is not long enough to possibly exhaust the company's supply of fuel and to cause the company to have to be at the mercy of a storm damaged market to buy more fuel. It is critical to the widget company that they keep producing and they have succesfully managed to do so with careful planning and preparation.
If wrong: That is not correct. The situation here has no loss of life, loss of revenue, or severe customer dissatisfaction. The company has planned ahead to prepare for this type of situation and has bought and installed the generator system. It is critical to the widget company that they keep producing and they have succesfully managed to do so with careful planning and preparation. So this is business critical.
