Match the installed items to the agreed scope
Compare the approved equipment list with the installer's recorded devices and locations, flagging any substitution or missing item along with who approved the change.
Track testing and customer handover separately
Use the professional's test status as recorded and distinguish it from the customer's receipt of documentation or training. A completed visit does not establish that every handover step occurred. List the specific missing acknowledgement or appointment instead of marking the whole project finished.
Keep open fixes and credentials apart
Give each remaining fix a reference, responsible person and next action. Keep credentials, camera access and security-sensitive details out of general summaries. The customer should receive approved documentation through the proper channel, with any outstanding work clearly recorded.
