Shift handoff summary

Why it works

• Handoff writer prioritizes continuity over storytelling.
• Promises and open jobs are the failure points between shifts.
• Read first elevates safety and money sensitive items.
• Five sections fit a quick verbal plus written pass.
• Do not forget catches small items that cause callbacks.
