Aidan,

Perhaps you could call it "The Total Cost Of Trust", which in itself
can't be calculated in relation to this one issue or many other issues
as they are after the initial calculation.
>From this, perhaps it would it be fair to state categorically, that the
total cost of ownership can't ever factor in the total cost of incidents
and therefore it is a fallacy to try and use this as a measurement of
any value to business.
