Business succession
Make the business transferable before the owner steps back
Capture what only the owner knows, map operational risk, and ship continuity scores plus handoff artifacts for whoever runs the business next.
- Rules-based continuity scores from your capture, not a black-box score
- Workspace answers cite project sources when evidence exists
- One record powers continuity checks, packet, and successor Q&A

Why this matters
Continuity breaks quietly
Most transitions fail slowly. Knowledge sits in email threads, approvals live in habit, and the next operator inherits a gap between what the books say and how the business actually runs.
Waystone exists to make that gap visible while the owner is still in the room: capture, assess, then ship artifacts a successor can rely on.

Transition work happens in real systems, real approvals, and real handoffs. The product is built to reflect that seriousness, not a slide deck score.
