Answer: When dealing with business continuity planning, you always must consider the worst case scenario to make a decision, taking in account not only technical and financial issues, but any other issue considered relevant to the organization. So in your scenario, the Maximum Allowable Outage (MAO) should be based on the time that an financial impact would take to be so great that it would compromise business survival.
