Evaluate a restore drill against recovery objectives.

Instruction: Calculate the observed recovery point and recovery time, then decide whether the drill passed.

Context:

All timestamps are fictional UTC. A service becomes unavailable at 10:00. Its newest recoverable transaction is timestamped 09:56. Restore starts at 10:05 and finishes at 10:32. Validation and traffic restoration finish at 10:47. The agreed recovery point objective is at most five minutes of data loss; recovery time is measured from outage start until validated service restoration and must be at most 30 minutes. The validation confirms the stated recovered transaction boundary.
