Produces a closeout checklist (deliverables, access, final invoice, documentation), a handoff/wrap-up message, the referral/testimonial/repeat-work asks to make at the peak moment, a graceful process for ending an ongoing relationship, and how to leave the door open — so the ending builds your business instead of just stopping.
