What to include

  • Translate the fictional agreement into observable success and role boundaries.
  • Map setup/data/staff dependencies with actual owners and evidence.
  • Provide a checked first-use summary and explicit support-stage labels.
  • Reconcile raw files with three distinct useful weeks and the W3 gap.
  • Prepare an unsent voluntary renewal outline and conditional renew/revise/end recommendation.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • Useful use requires the specified checked work product, not access counts.
  • Dependencies and service/customer responsibilities remain distinct.
  • Adoption totals deduplicate weeks and preserve missing evidence.
  • The recommendation follows the supplied rule without pressure or invented acceptance.
Three ideas to help you along the way
Three useful ideas

The rules behind the steps.

01

Define useful use

The customer’s completed job matters more than an access event.

02

Own the dependencies

Keep provider outputs, customer inputs and decision authority visible.

03

Review before renewing

Recommend from the actual record and preserve voluntary choices and unknown terms.

What do these words mean?
Key words
