Create a final checklist

List the delivery links, documentation, access changes, review deadline and payment action in one place. A shared checklist lets both sides see that the project is ready to close.

Leave a clean record

Document the version that was approved and any agreed follow-up support. A complete record makes it easier to return for the next project and reduces confusion if a new teammate joins later.
