METHOD AND FACTS
Demonstrating operational continuity
A conclusion does not hold because Ahvelior states it. It holds because it can be demonstrated.
Documenting is not handing over. A claim is not evidence.
Writing a procedure is not enough to guarantee that a team member can decide, weigh up trade-offs and hold the client relationship without you.
LEVELS OF EVIDENCE
The 4 levels of evidential strength
Level 1
What is asserted
“My team knows how and the clients will stay.”
A reassuring statement, but still not enough for the buyer.
Level 2
What is documented
“A costing procedure has been written.”
A useful basis, but no guarantee of the ability to decide when something unexpected comes up.
Level 3
What has been done and repeated
“8 of the last 12 quotes were produced without the owner stepping in.”
A concrete demonstration: the handover has been tested in real conditions and the business carried on as normal.
Level 4
What is autonomous and verifiable
“Key clients go directly to the designated technical manager.”
A high level of evidence: the client has endorsed the arrangement without requiring the owner to be there.
