## Quick Start

```python
checklist = ProjectCloseoutChecklist("Office Tower", date(2024, 12, 1))

# Update item status
checklist.update_status("CLO-001", ItemStatus.COMPLETE, "Received from architect")

# Check progress
print(f"Completion: {checklist.get_completion_percentage():.1f}%")

outstanding = checklist.get_outstanding_items()
print(f"Outstanding items: {len(outstanding)}")
```
