Applying virtual assistant week-close reviews
Close the week by reconciling accepted work, open queues, missed deadlines, dependencies, and carryover. Separate a true completion from work that was merely moved, and attach evidence to exceptions. The point is a dependable starting position for next week, not a polished summary that hides uncertainty.
Role boundary and review
The assistant can assemble the ledger, flag aging work, and prepare a list of decisions. The owner resolves priority conflicts, confirms carryover, and sets the first check for next week. Keep missed commitments visible with a cause and next owner so the review changes the operating plan rather than just recording a result. the [services library](/services) helps separate weekly administration from priority ownership, while the [[provider vetting guide](/provider-vetting)](/provider-vetting) frames continuity. [NIST guidance](https://www.nist.gov/itl/smallbusinesscyber) is a useful general access reference. ### Closeout record Keep accepted work, carryover, missed commitments, dependencies, owners, evidence links, and the first next-week check.
