What are the CRI requirements for R1-R8 and R9?

• A. R1-R8 = 60%+; R9 = 40%+
• B. R1-R8 = 70%+; R9 = 50%+
• C. R1-R8 = 85%+; R9 = 55%+
• D. R1-R8 = 80%+; R9 = 50%+

Answer: (D)

The threshold being tested is how CRI is used to determine resilience credits. CRI represents the portion of resilience criteria that a project has effectively addressed, and it translates into the percentage needed to earn the credits.

For most resilience credits (R1 through R8), you need to demonstrate 80% or higher CRI. That higher bar reflects the broader, more comprehensive resilience performance those credits expect. The final resilience credit (R9) has a lower threshold—50% or higher—because it focuses on integration and higher-level resilience concepts that can be evidenced with a smaller set of validated elements.

In practice, you document design, operations, and governance evidence (like risk assessments, redundancy measures, emergency planning, and related controls) to show you meet these thresholds.
