France e-invoicing cutover preflight checklist
A copyable checklist for representative-corpus validation, anomaly triage, evidence capture and bounded re-testing before production.
How to use it
Copy, assign owners, then attach real evidence.
A checklist is useful only if each item has an owner and a verifiable state. Do not mark an item complete because a tool returned a green badge.
