8.3.2 Identification of strategies and solutions
Identify possible strategies and solutions according to how far they would: keep prioritized activities going, or recover them, within the time frames identified and at the capacity agreed; protect those activities; make a disruption less likely; make it shorter; reduce its effect on products and services; and make sure enough resources are available.

These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.

- Capacity requirement dropped, so options are judged on time only
