We agreed the numbers in a client’s financial plan today and I need to lock the final file so nobody can change assumptions after we leave the meeting. I’m new at enforcing document immutability and worry a junior advisor might overwrite it. Tell me the concrete steps to lock the file and record its version, who should hold the master copy, and how to communicate to the team that this version is final.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
