In depth
A business impact analysis establishes which processes actually stop revenue or breach an obligation when they fail, and how long each can be down. Technology recovery priorities follow from that, which is how you avoid spending DR budget on the systems nobody urgently needs.
Continuity is not only IT. The plan covers who declares an incident, how staff and customers are contacted when email is down, where people work if the site is unavailable, and which suppliers you depend on to trade.
