Abstract: Methods and systems generating real-time notifications of software application importance based on current processing requirements. The method includes receiving a first dataset, wherein the first dataset comprises recovery time estimates for processing requirements. The method includes receiving a second dataset, wherein the second dataset comprises second recovery time estimates for applications. The method includes receiving a third dataset, wherein the third dataset comprises dependencies between processing requirements and applications. The method determines many-to-many relationships between the processing requirements and applications based on the dependencies. The method inputs the many-to-many relationships into a machine learning model to identify importance metrics for each application. The method generates, for display on a user interface, a ranking of the applications in order of importance metric.
