# 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? ## Output Format ### Engagement Close-out: [client / project] **1. Outcomes vs. goals** — what you set out to do vs. what was delivered and achieved. Honest, with the client's view. **2. What worked** — the approaches, decisions, and moments to **repeat** next time (your reusable playbook grows here). **3. What didn't** — scope creep, mis-estimates, friction, anyt
