Fly Reverses Out of Incident Rehearsal Plan

What happened today

Calm day nothing went wrong

Northwind Grid began a calm day with an untested incident response plan. Legal and Compliance raised it for rehearsal. The proposal seemed to attract the fly, which hesitated, then backed away and stopped, producing a deferral (DNb01, DNg13). Legal noted that a quiet day is exactly when a plan should be tested, while the Board asked for a costed rehearsal plan with owners, coverage, residual risk and a decision time.

Finance then requested a one-page options sheet covering containment costs, deferred-risk costs, funding, ownership and a deadline. The request irritated the fly sufficiently that it paused to clean its eyes, resulting in a demand for more information (DNg12_b, DNg11). Finance observed that this was not, in fact, an options sheet.

The rehearsal-plan discussion has been requested for day 54 with Legal and Compliance, and the Finance options sheet has moved to day 56. Security posture stands at 55, up one today, with $1,711,250 remaining in the budget.

Why the fly did that

Strongest drive was friction via the irritation channel; activation settled on DNg12_b, DNg11 (grooming descending neurons: the fly stops to clean its eyes), conviction 0.38.

The business responds

  • Legal / Compliance heard that the fly backed away from “Incident response plan nobody has ever rehearsed” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “A calm day is precisely when we rehearse. Please do not let the incident plan remain theoretical until the regulators provide the practical exercise.”

    Legal / Compliance Pushed back trust -1

    Next, they want: “Provide a dated, counsel-reviewed rehearsal plan naming the accountable owner, participants, scope, preservation steps, and completion record.” They have already asked for a slot in the fly's diary.

  • When the fly backed away from “Incident response plan nobody has ever rehearsed”, Executive Board dug in its heels. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “A calm day is not evidence that an untested incident plan works. Please stop walking backward and send the costed rehearsal plan, owners, coverage, residual risk, and Board decision time.”

    Executive Board Pushed back trust -2

    Next, they want: “Within one hour, submit the one-page, costed rehearsal and interim 24/7 coverage plan, with named incident, legal, and communications owners.” They have already asked for a slot in the fly's diary.

  • When the fly wanted more information on “Finance asks: A one-page options sheet today: minimum containment cost, deferred-risk cost, funding source, accountable owner, and a firm decision deadline.”, Finance dug in its heels. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “Another request for information is not an options sheet. Please choose a costed path, name the owner, and attach a deadline, preferably before the grooming break.”

    Finance Pushed back trust -2

    Next, they want: “By 3 p.m., submit the one-page sheet with minimum containment cost, deferred-risk cost, funding source, accountable owner, and firm decision deadline.” Expect an email.

    Back on day 44, IT / Infrastructure asked for a one-to-one with the fly about “Authorize a 30-minute operational review with Communications, Legal, HR and plant owners to confirm scope, disclosure timing, continuity impacts and staff messaging”. It was postponed once, and today it quietly vanished from the calendar. Nobody has asked where it went.

    Back on day 45, Executive Board asked for a meeting with the fly about “Within one hour: the disclosure decision paper with confirmed facts and gaps, incident, legal and communications owners, interim 24/7 coverage, residual risk, costs, counsel's view, and the exact Board decision time”. It was postponed once, and today it quietly vanished from the calendar. Nobody has asked where it went.

    Back on day 47, Executive Board asked for a meeting with the fly about “Within one hour: a costed one-page post-mortem paper with confirmed facts and gaps, named incident/legal/comms owners, remediation dates, residual risk, counsel's view, interim 24/7 cover, and an exact Board decision time”. It was due today, and got pushed back over a diary clash nobody will explain.

    Back on day 48, Finance asked for a one-to-one with the fly about “By 3 p.m., send the one-page options sheet with minimum containment cost, deferred-risk cost, funding source, accountable owner, and decision deadline”.
