Business Problem
Which real problem is affecting a decision, action, or delivery?
90-Day Enterprise AI Pilot
Validate first. Scale AI later.
Start with one real workflow, clear ownership, usable data, and human review. Build the smallest complete loop, test it, then decide whether to scale.
Before the Pilot
If these five questions are unclear, development should wait
Users & Owner
Who uses and reviews the workflow, and who owns the outcome?
Workflow
Which process needs to change, and where does human review belong?
Data & Context
Which sources are reliable, permitted, and protected?
Business Value
What behavior should change, and how will the outcome be judged?
Pilot Delivery Cycle
Four stages of delivery and review across 90 days
Stage 1 | Problem & Context
Confirm the problem, scope, owner, data, permissions, review points, and baseline.
Stage 2 | Minimum Complete Loop
Build the smallest end-to-end slice with provenance, state, error stops, and human override.
Stage 3 | Real Use
Let intended users work under real constraints and record failures, judgments, and outcomes.
Stage 4 | Business Value Review
Use evidence to decide whether to expand, revise, keep the work human-led, or stop.
Human Review
AI can recommend. Authorized people remain accountable.
AI may research, compare, recommend, draft, and remind. Formal commitments involving specifications, performance, accuracy, certification, delivery, pricing, legal conclusions, or major business decisions require authorized human approval.
- Make sources and confidence visible
- Mark uncertain facts explicitly
- Allow stopping, override, and safe reruns
- Feed decisions and outcomes back into the workflow
Business Value Review
Use real outcomes to decide what comes next
Review adoption, judgment quality, delivery outcomes, and governance reliability. A generated output or polished interface does not prove the business loop is complete.
- Did intended users actually adopt it?
- Did judgment become faster, steadier, or easier to explain?
- Can actions and outcomes be traced?
- Are risk, permissions, and rollback controlled?
Engagement Boundary
Scope and fees follow the business diagnosis
The formal proposal and agreement confirm pilot scope, fees, delivery approach, and responsibilities after the business diagnosis.
