Come on, the audit requirements should have diversity/redundancy concerns in them.

That's standard in all the audits I have done or participated in.

If these ones don't I have a marketing opportunity to teach a HA seminar and followon consulting to the IG.

Why do you have two circuits with only 40% utilization. The auditor says
that's waste, and you only need one circuit at 80% utilization for half
the cost.

And of course, said auditor is probably near impervious to the very real
and valid reasons you have 2 circuits.  Because as Upton Sinclair wrote
around a century ago:

"You cannot make a man understand something when his paycheck depends
on him not understanding it".
