Engagement Retro Skill

The end of an engagement is the highest-leverage, most-wasted moment in consulting: the client is happy (hopefully), you've learned things, and the next sale is easiest now. This skill runs the close-out — honest results vs. goals, what to repeat/fix, whether it actually made money, and the explicit renewal/ referral ask — so each engagement compounds into the next instead of just ending.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The engagement — what it was, the original goals/SOW, and what was delivered.
• The outcome — results vs. goals, and the client's apparent satisfaction.
• The reality — scope changes, time vs. estimate, profitability (did the pricing hold?).
• The relationship — is there follow-on work, a testimonial, or referral potential?
