Tips for better results

Name your tools and roles. "Google Workspace, Slack and GitHub" becomes specific access-removal steps instead of "remove access".
Start with Essentials. A 12-item list gets used; a 40-item list gets skimmed. Switch to Thorough for high-stakes launches.
Read the Often forgotten line first. It points to the items that usually cause the problems.
Save and reuse it. The second time you run the same process, edit the checklist with what went wrong the first time.
