# Toolchain Handoff Map Template

> **Use this after the workflow map.** For each handoff you identified, document exactly which tools or people exchange context.

---

## Handoff Inventory

List every point where context moves between tools, scripts, or people.

| # | From (tool / person) | To (tool / person) | What moves | Automatic? | Version captured? |
|---|---------------------|---------------------|------------|------------|-------------------|
| 1 | | | | ☐ Yes / ☐ No | ☐ Yes / ☐ No |
| 2 | | | | ☐ Yes / ☐ No | ☐ Yes / ☐ No |
| 3 | | | | ☐ Yes / ☐ No | ☐ Yes / ☐ No |
| 4 | | | | ☐ Yes / ☐ No | ☐ Yes / ☐ No |
| 5 | | | | ☐ Yes / ☐ No | ☐ Yes / ☐ No |

## Tools involved

List every tool, script, or system that touches this workflow:

```
Tool 1: [name + version if known]
Tool 2: 
Tool 3: 
Tool 4: 
```

## Risk map

For each handoff, note the risk if context is lost:

| Handoff # | If context is lost… | Impact (low / medium / high) |
|-----------|---------------------|------------------------------|
| 1 | | |
| 2 | | |
| 3 | | |

## Owners

Who knows the most about each tool?

```
Tool 1 — expert: 
Tool 2 — expert: 
Tool 3 — expert: 
```

## Next step

- [ ] Identified the weakest handoff → [map it deeper](https://finnegans.tech/notes/labview-teststand-handoffs/).
- [ ] Multiple handoffs break → [book a workflow review](https://finnegans.tech/workflow-review/).
