Five rules for a safe first handoff

Capture request authority, matter reference, approved scope, custodians, date range, secure collection location, access log, transfer receipt, and retention instruction.
Keep source facts, interpretation, owner decisions, actions, and employee messages distinct.
Stop when identity, evidence, scope, or authority is uncertain.
Verify the destination and residual queue before closure.
Retain only the evidence required by approved policy.
