The model
Check the original purpose, current users, remaining need and cost of stopping. Renew, revise or retire the activity. Retirement is treated as a possible successful outcome rather than evidence that the original sponsor lacked foresight.

In practice
A monthly report once supported an integration decision. The decision is complete, but distribution has expanded. The owner consults actual users and replaces the report with a smaller operational view, ending a ritual without ending visibility.
