ColdFusion crash issues rarely announce themselves clearly.
For CEOs, the challenge isn’t fixing technical problems. It is knowing whether a business-critical system is quietly putting the company at risk.
The questions below help leadership teams surface that risk without needing to become technical experts.

1. Downtime Exposure
- If this ColdFusion system went down unexpectedly, what parts of the business would be affected first? And how many thousands of dollars per hour would this cost us in customer churn?
- Is this application a single point of failure, or do we have meaningful redundancy?
- Have we tested how the system behaves under peak load or unexpected spikes?
This tells you:
Whether downtime risk is understood or simply assumed to be “manageable.”
2. Predictability and Root Causes
- When issues occur, do we usually know why quickly? Or a long time after the fact?
- Are incidents driven by repeat patterns, or do they still feel random?
- What signals would warn us before a serious failure happens?
This tells you:
Whether the system is stable or just surviving on temporary fixes.
3. Cost, ROI, and Hidden Technical Debt
- Why does this system cost so much to maintain and it still crashes regularly?
- Which issues create recurring support or emergency work?
- How much time is the team spending reacting versus improving stability?
This tells you:
Whether IT spend is supporting growth or quietly draining resources.
4. Growth, Scale, and Strategic Flexibility
- Would this system comfortably support 2x–10x growth?
- Are there features or initiatives we avoid because the platform can’t reliably support them?
- Does this system limit future pricing models, acquisitions, or integrations?
This tells you:
Whether technology is enabling strategy or constraining it.
5. Risk, Reputation, and Future Value
- Would this system raise concerns in a board discussion, audit, or due diligence review?
- How confident are we in its CF security posture and recovery plans?
- Is our technical story an asset or a $2M question mark for investors or buyers?
This tells you:
How technology impacts trust, valuation, and long-term optionality.
What to Do If the Answers Aren’t Clear
Lack of clarity is itself a risk signal.
You don’t need an expensive rewrite or a major transformation to start reducing exposure. You first need visibility into where risk lives today and which issues are most likely to repeat.

- Why legacy ColdFusion systems tend to crash
