Close obsolete work cleanly by removing access, archiving guidance, resolving open records, and notifying owners. Published September 2, 2026.

- Change scope only after a reviewed operating cycle.
Define the operating question
Published September 2, 2026. A process stops, yet recurring tasks, permissions, and stale instructions remain attached to the role. The first review should identify the exact workflow, the expected finish, and the point where a manager decision becomes necessary.
Use a retirement checklist covering final work, open exceptions, record location, access removal, automation dependencies, stakeholder notice, and accountable sign-off. Keep the record beside the active queue and link to approved sources instead of copying sensitive data. A missing fact should remain visibly missing until an authorised owner supplies it; it should never be inferred merely to keep the queue moving.
The process owner confirms the workflow is no longer required and accepts any residual obligations. The offshore team member can prepare evidence, apply documented rules, and stop work at the stated boundary. After the next cycle, inspect permissions removed on time and revise only the control that the evidence shows is weak.

Start from one recent work item should make permissions removed on time observable. Compare a normal item with one that arrived incomplete, late, or outside the usual path. Record what the contributor knew, what the instructions allowed, and what the next owner actually decided.
