Leave and Return

Going out and coming back are the same problem, and every product on the market treats them as two. The handover you write in your last six weeks is your return brief.

What’s inside

  • Seven connected databases: Responsibilities, Key Dates, Wins Before Leave, Return Plan, Changes While I Was Away, People, and The Leave.
  • A responsibility ranking by what breaks first if you left tomorrow, with uncovered critical items surfaced in red weeks before your last day.
  • The date layer nobody else tracks: notification deadlines, benefit continuation, keeping-in-touch days — each with a where-the-rule-came-from field.
  • An evidence bank frozen before you go, captured while you still have dashboard access.
  • A 90-day return plan dated off your actual return date — change the date and the plan re-dates itself. Plus two AI prompt blocks, including one that drafts the handover brief everyone dreads writing fourteen times.

Who this is for

The tracking is honest by design: not started, brief drafted, brief sent, walked through together, they have done it once. A conversation in a corridor is not a handover, and this system will not pretend it was.

On the way back, one field matters most: for each thing you handed over — reclaimed, still with them and agreed, still with them and never discussed, gone, or let go on purpose.
