Escalation Rate

Percentage

The frequency at which incidents are escalated to higher-level teams or management, indicating the complexity of incidents and potential gaps in initial response capabilities.

Formula

(Number of Escalated Incidents / Total Number of Incidents) * 100

Example

If 5 out of 50 incidents are escalated, the escalation rate is (5/50)*100 = 10%.
