...but the recovery system is exactly what they need to build first.

I can't find the reference, but consistent with that, I remember reading someplace that the number of items in your queue should typically be zero, since queues can't actually make the rest of the system any faster. All they can really do is buffer temporary bursts, or buffer while the rest of the system recovers. And for that you'll definitely need your recovery system working as a prerequisite.
