We keep calling projects “done.”
Then somebody else inherits them.
That’s when one word turns into three very different realities:
VERIFIED.
FAILED.
NEVER RUN.
Free handoff checklists are good at the admin: move the files, transfer access, close the invoice.
The harder question is:
“What in here can I actually trust?”
I turned the handoff method into a small standalone kit that separates those states, shows what is still unknown, and gives the next person a clearer starting point.

A one-page checklist works best when every line leads to an action: what to do, what to check, and what to do if something is missing. I turn rough notes into a clear, printable checklist and flag gaps instead of inventing steps. This is a small, fixed-scope service ($15, up to one page): https://contra.com/s/gLggNYZF-turn-your-notes-into-a-one-page-checklist?r=adam_pope_x4sems11

Created a 3-email onboarding sequence for a fictional invoicing SaaS product aimed at freelancers and agency consultants. The sequence includes:
Welcome Email (immediate trust + first action)
Proof Email (a relatable scenario showing the product solving a real pain point)
Setup Email (soft CTA to complete onboarding)
The goal was to move a new signup from curiosity to habitual use without leaning on hard-sell language at any stage
I stopped writing my first draft of any data report myself. Here's why.
Over the past few months, I've started using Claude as the first pass on every client communication — not to do the analysis, but to structure the findings once I already have them.
My workflow is now:
Clean and analyze the data myself in Python/R (this part stays 100% me)
Feed the key findings to Claude and ask him to draft a plain-language summary
Rewrite and tighten it in my own voice, cut out anything generic
The result: reports that used to take me an hour to write up now take 20 minutes, and they read clearer because I'm editing instead of staring at a blank page.
The part AI can't do: determining what finding actually matters to the client's business. That's STILL 100% WITH ME.
What's one part of your workflow you've handed off to AI, and one part you'd never trust it with?
