Looks similar, but isn't

The interim periodic report mid-project is not closure documentation.
- Not an instance
Individual experiment notebooks are part of execution-phase records, not the closure pack.
Editorial commentary
Closure documentation typically includes: the final report, final financial report, project closure checklist, equipment disposition record, data archive certificate, lessons-learned summary, IP disclosure list, dissemination record, sustainability and follow-on plan, and consortium dissolution record (where applicable). Many institutions maintain a project closure pack template. Strong closure documentation supports audit response, future-application context, and institutional memory.
