Audit export and exit options

Know what can be exported, in which format, and what must be rebuilt before the tool becomes essential.

DIRECT ANSWER

Test the exit while the pilot is still small. Export data, instructions, configurations, logs, and ownership records, then confirm another person can understand them without the original tool.

Working sequence

Make the evidence visible.

  1. 01

    List the assets

    Inventory source data, generated data, prompts, workflows, permissions, and audit history.

  2. 02

    Test the export

    Download a sample and confirm the format is complete, readable, and reusable.

  3. 03

    Measure rebuild work

    Identify vendor-specific logic and estimate the effort to reproduce it.

  4. 04

    Assign the archive

    Name the owner, location, cadence, and retention rule for portable records.

Evidence to keep

Leave with four records.

  • Successful sample export
  • Readable format
  • Rebuild estimate
  • Archive owner
Portability is a tested behavior, not a checkbox in a procurement sheet.
