I agree with Sarah..... "I don't think it really matters at what point you measure the RTO as long as you are consistent in your approach across the whole...
RTO and all the rest = Alphabet soup. Even DRII's RTO definition seems ambiguious. Rather than try to shoehorn the plan into buzz words, define what you need...
