A renewal plan should show more than dates, usage and commercial terms. It must connect realised value, future outcomes, stakeholder readiness, relationship options and the investment each side is prepared to govern.

| Stage | Leave with | Failure signal |
|---|---|---|
| Understand | Renewal boundary | Only the expiry date is visible |
| Clarify | Realised and future outcome | Usage substitutes for value |
| Evidence | Relationship evidence ledger | Supplier effort substitutes for proof |
| Align | Partnership-readiness map | Champion support substitutes for authority |
| Decide | Renewal decision record | Renewal and expansion are bundled |
| Commit | Mutual investment contract | Partnership has no resources or governance |
| Improve | Partnership scorecard | Signature is treated as success |
The useful test is whether the record can be read back, corrected and accepted by the people who carry the consequence. If it cannot, the stage is not complete.
