Source code and software records.
Code with its history, reviews and tickets shows how software was really built and fixed.
What tends to be useful
- Repositories with commit history and code review
- Linked tickets, incidents and design documents
- Data team files such as pipelines and dashboards
What usually stays out, or needs care
- Code written for clients who own it under contract
- Third-party and open-source code under licences that restrict reuse
- Secrets: keys, passwords and credentials. Never send these

Ownership is the first question. See technology and telecoms. Don’t send files: describe what you have. How rights and personal data are handled is on trust and rights.
