Executive Summary
One-paragraph overview of the work, objectives, and high-level schedule so reviewers quickly understand purpose and critical dates.
A complete Business Services Sightplan reduces ambiguity about scope, responsibilities, and scheduling while creating an auditable record for approvals and inspections.
Multiple roles collaborate on a Sightplan; responsibilities and signatory authority differ by project size and industry.
Signatures should match organizational authorities; record who signed, in what capacity, and the signing date for later reference.

|---|---|
| Authentication | Email link or SMS code; stronger KBA for high-risk approvals |

| Reminders | Automatic reminders every 3–7 days until signed |
| Storage | Save PDFs with audit trail in centralized project folder |
Choose a platform that supports required file types, audit trails, and your preferred authentications.

Include exhibits (contracts, insurance certificates, diagrams) as numbered annexes referenced from the main document.
Final signed document exported as a flattened PDF with an appended audit trail and timestamp for long-term retention and easy sharing.
Provide an editable DOCX copy for internal revisions; preserve a versioning log to track changes and authorship.

Include high-resolution site maps or photos (JPEG/PNG) with clear filenames and exhibit references to avoid confusion.
Submit a completed Sightplan to requesting parties as soon as they request it.
Allow 3–5 business days for operations or compliance review.
