Critical load builder

Start with the outage outcome, then count only the watts that protect it.

Assemble the network path first. Add storage for a clean stop and work equipment only when it preserves the task. The result carries one explicit load boundary into the final continuity calculation.

Critical-load inventory

Keep only the equipment that preserves the outcome.

Build a small, visible continuity load before choosing a UPS. Add storage only when its shutdown path matters and work equipment only when it keeps the real task moving.

Critical-load brief

Carry a known load boundary into the final continuity check.

This brief separates the devices that must remain on from the ones that can wait, so the resulting equipment comparison begins with a smaller and more defensible outage requirement.

Keep this useful version close, shareable, and easy to revisit.
