The fallback may lack capacity for safe continuity: What residual risk is most specific?
Suspension reduces automated harm, but continuity remains risky if manual procurement lacks capacity for incoming demand.
The question
A software-procurement model begins ranking vendors using a corrupted data feed. The proposed mitigation disables ranking and routes requests to manual procurement, but no one has checked whether staff can handle the volume. What residual risk is most specific?

- Vendor rankings may need refreshed presentation formatsPresentation changes do not address the continuity capacity of the manual process after automated ranking is suspended.
- Manual processing may reduce procurement speedReduced speed is an operational consequence, but the sharper governance concern is whether the fallback can safely handle demand.
- The fallback may lack capacity for safe continuity ✓Suspending the affected function is safer only if the manual fallback has sufficient resources, authority, and procedures for expected volume.
- The organization may need to expand automated ranking immediatelyRapid automation could repeat the corrupted-input problem; continuity should first rely on a demonstrably workable fallback.
The trap
A fallback is not safe merely because it is manual; test capacity, authority, and continuity. How to remember it
Suspension reduces automated harm, but continuity remains risky if manual procurement lacks capacity for incoming demand.
