Hand over the project with documentation the client can actually use

The handover problem

• Documentation is always the last task, so it gets the time that is left: none.
• Senior developers write it from memory, at senior rates the client will not pay for.
• What gets delivered is a README and a Postman collection. The client's next team calls you for months with questions.
• A weak handover is what the client remembers, not the good product.

What the client receives

• What every endpoint does, in plain language, with the business rules it enforces.
• Step-by-step flows with the file and function behind each step.
• A data-access map: which endpoint reads or writes which table.
• Database schema, user journeys, flowcharts and sequence diagrams.
• Setup, environment variables, architecture and deployment notes.
• Export as Markdown, or sync to Notion, Confluence, GitHub Wiki, Azure DevOps Wiki, GitBook or SharePoint.

How agencies use it

• One week before delivery: connect the repository and run a scan.
• Review the result, correct what you know better. Your edits are kept.
• Export to Markdown or push it into the client's Confluence or Notion.
• Optional: keep the project connected during the support period, so every fix you ship updates the client's docs and adds a change entry.

Why it pays for itself

• Days of senior time saved on every project.
• Fewer unpaid support questions after delivery.
• Documentation becomes a line item you can sell, not a cost you absorb.
• A professional handover wins the next project and the referral.

Client code stays safe

Source code is cloned for the scan and deleted afterwards. It is never stored. For clients with strict rules, VizRepo can run self-hosted in their own cloud.
