PM Handoff Report

Full handoff bundle for the field PM taking over from pre-con. Project overview, contract summary, risks, contacts, deadlines, week-1 actions, and a reviewer sign-off block — all printable.

Engine Phase: Award Runtime: 50-90 seconds Pro+

What it does

PM Handoff Report takes the contract plus any project context you provide and builds a complete project-kickoff package: executive overview, financial structure, critical dates, risk register, contacts, scope notes, week-1 action list, and a reviewer sign-off field. It's structured so the field PM can print it, keep it on the truck, and know what they're walking into.

When to use it

What to upload

Any combination of project documents — contract, scope, permit, safety plan, schedule, procurement log. The engine reads them all together and produces one unified brief. Most users feed the signed contract plus 1–2 supplementary docs.

Troubleshooting

Contacts section mostly empty

Contacts aren't always in the contract itself — they come from cover emails, design-team rosters, and kickoff notes. Upload those too, or fill the contacts block manually.

Week-1 actions feel generic

Use the chat: "This is a datacenter project — regenerate week-1 actions with datacenter-specific steps." The engine adapts when given context.
