Command note: If the account only makes sense to the person who built it, it isn't finished. Every build has context that lives in your head: why a stage exists, which workflow is paused on purpose, what the client asked you never to touch. The day you step away, that context walks out with you. What a handoff note covers: • What is live, and what is deliberately switched off • Where the odd decisions are, and why they were made • What the client has asked never to change • Who to ask, and what to check first when something breaks Do it now, in about 20 minutes: 1) Pick one account you could not hand to someone else today 2) Write four short headings: Live, Paused on purpose, Do not touch, First checks 3) Fill each with plain sentences, no jargon only you understand 4) Hand it to someone who has never seen the account and ask them to explain it back 5) Fix every spot where they stumble, then save it where the whole team can find it The test is simple: could a stranger run this account tomorrow using only the note? A build is only as good as the note that lets someone else keep it running.
