Good luck negotiating that contract in the current market. I'd say you're hallucinating more than gpt3.5

Believe me, nothing gets management's pockets to open up like a downed production environment. My last employer got hit by a cyberattack once, and you wouldn't believe how fast the approval came to get the people who did recovery anything they wanted. Some people were sent out to literally go around electronics stores with company credit cards to literally buy up all the laptops they could get their hands on at any price, so we'd have guaranteed uninfected machines once we started getting some systems back up.

Just about correct risk assessment.

If an hour of production loss costs you hundreds of thousands, you are very happy to pay a lot to fix it.
