A project handoff that exposes the loose ends.
Fictional starter — replace with your own material.

Copy into Workspace yourself:

Create project-handoff.md using only the fictional notes below. Write for Leo, the incoming coordinator. Include purpose, current state, a source map with status and intended use, decisions, unresolved risks, and ordered first steps. Cite the H markers. File names in the notes are references only; do not claim their contents were inspected.

Preserve expected versus confirmed dates. Never use placeholder totals as results. Distinguish requested access from verified access. Do not grant access, send the handoff, change source files, calculate final results, or mark the transfer accepted. Finish with an acceptance checklist for the people involved to review.

# Fictional handoff: Orchard pilot reporting
Handoff date: 2026-09-10
Outgoing coordinator: Mina. Incoming coordinator: Leo.

[H1] Goal: prepare the pilot results brief after the pilot ends. The end date is not confirmed.
[H2] Approved scope is in pilot-brief-v2.md. pilot-brief-v1.md is superseded.
[H3] Reviewed file: metric-definitions.md, dated 2026-09-09. It defines an active pilot account as one with at least one completed session in the reporting period.
[H4] Draft file: results-draft.md. Its totals are placeholders and must not be reported as final.
[H5] Priya owns source-data delivery. Delivery is expected 2026-09-15 but is not confirmed.
[H6] Leo will verify the reporting dates with Priya before calculating totals.
[H7] Decision: use account counts, not individual-user counts, in the brief.
[H8] Access to the shared analytics folder has been requested for Leo but has not been verified.
[H9] Open issue: one source export appears to contain duplicate account IDs. No cleaning rule is agreed.
[H10] The last reviewed brief is archived-brief-august.md; it is a format example, not current pilot evidence.

Illustrative result:
Fictional expected handoff excerpt

Goal: prepare a pilot results brief after an end date that remains unconfirmed (H1).
Current scope: pilot-brief-v2.md; v1 is superseded (H2).
Measure: active accounts with at least one completed session; use account counts, not users (H3, H7).
Do not report results-draft.md totals: they are placeholders (H4).

First steps: verify Leo’s folder access (H8); confirm reporting dates and Priya’s delivery (H5, H6); agree duplicate-account handling (H9); then calculate and review results.
Expected delivery: 2026-09-15, unconfirmed.
Acceptance pending: accessible files, agreed dates, resolved duplicate rule, and incoming-owner review.

Review checklist:
- All current, draft, superseded, and historical file references have distinct roles.
- Expected delivery and requested access are not described as confirmed.
- Placeholder totals and old reporting evidence are excluded from current results.
- The next steps respect data, date, and duplicate-rule dependencies.
- The brief records pending acceptance and does not claim a permission transfer.
