SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Ending a managed services client relationship without a structured process risks legal liability, data disputes, and reputation damage. This Skill provides a complete offboarding runbook so every client exit follows the signed MSA terms, preserves service quality through the last day, and leaves documented evidence of a clean handoff. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 48-Hour Response Protocol: Read the signed MSA and Order, acknowledge notice in writing, freeze scope, brief the team, and log the churn reason in the PSA. - Sequenced Transition Runbook: Assemble the documentation package, transfer control with client-confirmed break-glass access, then remove RMM agents, endpoint protection, and admin accounts in a defined order. - Data Retention and Final Billing: Apply a 60-day post-exit retention default with written deletion confirmation, DPA overrides, and a no-surprises final invoice. - Ready-to-Send Templates: Acknowledgment and closure letters that attest to every removal step, serving as the liability shield. - Use Case: A client gives notice they are switching providers. Use this Skill to confirm the notice period from their Order, deliver the documentation package, coordinate access transfer with the successor, and send the closure letter attesting to completed removals. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to start the client offboarding runbook for a client who just gave notice, including the acknowledgment letter and transition checklist.

FAQPage Schema
How do I offboard an MSP client who is switching providers?

Follow the transition runbook: confirm notice terms from the signed MSA and Order, acknowledge in writing, assemble the documentation package, transfer control with a tested break-glass admin, then remove RMM agents and admin accounts last. Send the closure letter attesting to each removal step.

What order should I remove MSP tools during client offboarding?

Silence monitoring first, then remove RMM agents, unenroll endpoint protection, ZTNA, and MDM, and remove your admin accounts last, only after the client confirms their own access works. Keep a dated record of each removal for the closure letter.

How long should an MSP retain client data after offboarding?

The shipped example default retains client data and backups for 60 days after offboarding completes, then deletes them with written confirmation. A signed DPA or the client's Order can override this, and regulated data retention goes through an attorney.

Can an MSP withhold client data over unpaid invoices?

No. The skill explicitly prohibits holding data, credentials, or access hostage over unpaid invoices. Collections run through the attorney path, while hostage-taking creates liability and damages referral reputation.

What should an MSP do in the first 48 hours after a client gives notice?

Read the client's signed MSA and Order to confirm notice and fees, acknowledge in writing with the effective end date, freeze new project scope, brief the team on full service through the last day, and log the departure reason in the PSA.
