Keep the lesson for the next incident
Classify handoff omissions
Group incidents by missing decision, scope, evidence index, revision, conclusion, uncertainty, owner, next action, stop condition, or stale-context label. Keep one receiver question and downstream consequence for each class. Distinguish a weak summary from genuinely incomplete investigation.
Keep concise exemplars
Retain short handoffs showing decision, scope, evidence, conclusion, limits, open items, owner, next action, and closure. Include an intentionally provisional result and a transfer that requires a new investigation. Update examples when receiving roles or review needs change.
Review recurrence and ownership
Assign owners for source work, summary quality, and receiving review as needed. Sample handoffs on a defined cadence and track repeated reconstruction questions. Reopen investigation for omitted material evidence, unowned next actions, or a summary reused beyond its stated context.
What to carry forward
Close the learning record with omission classes, receiver-tested exemplars, owners, and a trigger for repeated reconstruction or lost evidence. Preserve provisional and unfinished states as explicit handoff behavior. The durable result is continuity that lets the next person act from the record.
Keep the decision with the work.
Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
