Put the fixed week in view.

Add the owner or handoff.

Confirm

Let both partners see the change.

Confirm only the next coverage window: who is covering it, what changed, and who owns the next unfinished action. This checklist is not a scorecard and does not decide what a fair division of parenting should look like.
