Look at the evidence
Identify critical services and their dependencies.
Check authorised alternates, information access and recovery arrangements.
Review an absence scenario without disrupting real safeguards.
A case to think through
A team knows the delivery process but lacks access to a critical supplier account. The dependency is an access and continuity issue, not simply delegation confidence.
This is a hypothetical operating example, not a client result.Avoid a misleading conclusion
Treating a holiday handover as a complete continuity plan can leave technology, supplier and specialist dependencies unexamined.
Delivery independence needs evidence from real work, including the exceptions that make the business difficult to run. A process document, quiet holiday or completed checklist is not enough on its own. Check whether another capable and authorised role can maintain the agreed outcome under representative conditions.
