Risks are scored based on factors such as methods of failure detection, automation of failover, failover duration, severity of failure impact, and likelihood of occurrence. If a component or system poses an unacceptable risk, the proposed solution is rejected, and engineers are tasked with refining the solution or providing mitigations. Mitigations may include implementing faster detection methods, adding redundancy, reducing recovery times, or making lower-level software changes to enhance resilience against failure modes.
