This is very basic and not all inclusive, but like you said every circulator runs their room a little bit differently so if you make a super specific list of the order you are going to do things you will get in a bind. I carry this with me and just glance through it as a mental checklist to make sure I am not missing anything. It is vague on purpose so that it can be adapted to every case.(Our sign in/timeout/debrief is facility wide so yours made be different) Hope it helps.
