Pre-Departure Countdown
Audit a trip's readiness in the final stretch before departure: verify documents and bookings, close the packing gaps against the packing roster, sweep home-prep tasks, and produce a day-by-day countdown checklist to the departure date — so the last week runs on a list, not on 3am worry. Locks the audit areas and the days remaining FIRST, then audits each area against the trip record, then writes the countdown. Use for pre-trip checks, departure prep, 'are we ready for the trip', and travel countdown checklists.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the countdown | Planner | days remaining, audit areas, readiness criteria |
| 2 | Audit readiness | Reviewer | check each area, grow the packing roster, list open items |
| 3 | Write the countdown | Copywriter | day-by-day checklist to departure |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
