According to the invention, systems and methods are provided for analyzing the diversity of a set of critical telecommunication circuits. For example, according to one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for analyzing the diversity of critical telecommunication circuits, the method comprising: determining a critical circuit set comprising a first critical circuit and a second critical circuit; identifying a first set of telecommunication resources associated with the first critical circuit; identifying a second set of telecommunication resources associated with the second critical circuit; and comparing the first set of telecommunication resources with the second set of telecommunication resources to determine whether the critical circuit set is diverse.
