Checklist edits save in the background. Items need titles before saves succeed. The right Required items list shows these flow steps. This stage does not use a Company Tracker sync panel.
Step 1: Stabilization plan
- Review how stabilization moves the company from go-live to steady operations.
- Click Next.
Step 2: Final checklist
- Work remaining closeout items. Table columns include Item, Target date, Owner, Status, and Notes.
- Click Add item → Add stabilization item for extras when needed.
- Click Next when the closeout list is under control.
Step 3: Post-go-live milestones
- Review guidance cards (this step is guidance-only, not a separate hard-gated runner), including:
- First month-end close
- First project review meetings
- First year-end close
- Assign owners/dates and note risks as the product allows.
- Click Next.
Step 4: Operational handoff
- Confirm ownership and milestone coverage so support can taper without hidden gaps.
- Click Complete stabilization.
