Benchmark Recovery Windows Not Just Successful Runs

Recovery windows are a better engineering benchmark than happy-path success counts because operations depends on how fast clarity returns.

Benchmarks usually celebrate how often the system succeeds. Operators care just as much about how quickly the system becomes understandable again after failure.

Useful recovery-window measurements

• Time to detect the real fault.
• Time to restore workflow legality.
• Time to verify normal operation returned.

Use the benchmarks, architecture guide, and examples to benchmark recovery windows directly.
