What makes a technology rollout reversible?

A rollout is meaningfully reversible when the team can restore data and access, resume the prior workflow, remove new connections, and communicate the change within a tested time window.

OPERATING POINTS

What the concept requires

Record the last safe state and the decision deadline.
Test exports, backups, credential removal, and the manual fallback.
Name who declares rollback and who communicates it.

LIMITS

What the concept does not prove

Not every change can be completely undone.
Backups do not prove restoration speed, completeness, or business usability.
