Operating framework for Exit

1) Scope for Exit/offboarding

Write one sentence for the business outcome behind 2026 Exit and offboarding Practical Workbook for Startups. List constraints (fragmented ownership across teams). Reject work that does not serve the sentence.

2) Ownership map

Assign planning, production, QA, and measurement owners. Publish the map where the team already works.

3) Control stack

• conflict-of-interest disclosure (entry gate)
• version/date freshness stamp (delivery gate)
• criteria rubric versioning (review gate)

4) Delivery rhythm

Ship in small increments. After each release, add links to the Software Reviews hub and sibling cluster pages.

5) Learning loop

Compare planned vs actual every week. Keep, fix, or stop. Do not expand while conflict-of-interest disclosure is failing.

Software Reviews teams lose time when offboarding work is reactive. Under fragmented ownership across teams, ad-hoc execution creates rework and weak signal quality.
