CARE PLAN
A system only stays useful if someone keeps operating it.
The Care Plan covers the two things that decay fastest after a build: the technical side, and the process side.
PART ONE · TECHNICAL
Keeping it running
Hosting, updates and backups
CRM and automation monitoring
Fixes when an integration breaks
Small changes and new fields as the business shifts
BEING HONEST
What usually happens without it.
—Fields get added by hand until the CRM no longer matches the process.
—Automations quietly fail and nobody notices for weeks.
—Follow-up drifts back to memory and personal notes.
—Reporting stops being trusted, so decisions go back to instinct.
The Care Plan is optional. If your team has the capacity to operate the system internally, that is a perfectly reasonable choice.
