Why each option
When terminating a vendor contract, the two required documentation items are the work that has been completed and the work that remains uncompleted, establishing payment obligations and identifying remaining scope gaps.
Quality measurements assess vendor performance against standards but are not the primary paired documentation required to execute a contract termination.
Scope verification documents and termination notices are not the standard paired documentation required for settling a vendor contract termination.
Scope verification process documents describe how verification is conducted but do not capture the actual work status needed to fairly settle a contract termination.
Documenting completed work establishes what deliverables and effort the vendor has provided, forming the basis for determining payment owed. Documenting uncompleted work identifies the remaining scope gap that must be addressed through alternative means, enabling an orderly transition and avoiding program schedule disruption.
