What it does
A shop, clinic or studio that works in your hands often fails in someone else's. The reason is rarely effort. The know-how lives in your head, so the copy gets your good days and misses the hundred small things you do without noticing. This workflow runs four steps with one pause. The first writes standards as yes-or-no lines with numbers, and names what you never cut. The second turns them into a job card for each role, with a rule for what to do when a standard is missed and a trial sheet. Then you pause: someone who has never worked for you runs one shift while you watch and write down every place they stop. The third turns those notes into gaps, checks the first place earns when you are away, and checks the next site, supplies and the named person. The fourth gives a go or no-go. It…
You give it
- What you sell and how a customer gets it, from order to hand-off
- Your roles and what each person does in a shift
- Takings and costs for a week you were away, if you have them (optional)
- Brand brain (optional)
You get
- Standards with numbers and a list of what you never cut
- A job card for each role, a missed-standard rule and a day-one trial sheet
- A list of gaps from the trial, each with a fix
- A check that the first location earns without you, and a go or no-go on the next one
Use it when
- One location works well and you want a second, a partner or a franchisee to run it the same way without you.
- A new hire keeps asking you things that should be written down.
- You are about to hire a manager and hand over the keys.
Steps
- Repeatable standards sheet writer: Describe your product or service. Get a one-page sheet of checkable standards so it feels the same every time.
- Operations manual writer: Paste your standards sheet. Get a job card for each role, a missed-standard rule and a day-one trial sheet.
- Second location readiness checker: Paste your manual and trial notes. Get the gaps a newcomer found, a profit-without-you check and what to fix before opening.
- Go or no-go launch checker: Paste your plan. Get a go or no-go against the book's six faults and three halfway checks.
How to use it
- Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
- Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
- Describe your business and your roles. It works step by step and saves each result.
- At the pause, print the trial sheet, have a newcomer run one shift, and write down every stop. Bring the notes back.
