The first question after the handover
I start with a fictional digital handover that contains every expected file but leaves the receiving service team without several practical answers. The session follows sixty-eight packs through an examination of maintenance references and warranty ownership, with four still held after the correction work. I ask who should define acceptance and when the next user's intended work needs to enter the project conversation. Participants consider a handover from their own public or invented context and identify the first question the recipient will face. The intended outcome is a clearer account of responsibility at the point a programme closes. I distinguish technical service acceptance from statutory occupancy, physical safety and maintenance completion, which require their own authorities. The discussion does not inspect confidential building models or provide an engineering assessment. It helps sponsors and receiving teams agree what useful delivery means before a closing milestone transfers an unexplained obligation to the people who must continue the service.
