What actually crosses the boundary, which way, how often, and what it costs when it stops.

Continuous
Payroll · without it: Starters are unpaid and leavers keep being paid.

Offboard-to-Exit
One side of this is outside your scope

Everything in scope — 10 topics
The ones you chose, and the ones they brought with them. An implied topic cannot be dropped on its own — it is here because of a pick, and the pick is named.
You picked these — 1
