A 7-day pilot checklist
Evaluate reliability, review effort, training time, vendor lock-in, and privacy—not just time saved. What evaluation criteria would you add?
A 7-day pilot checklist
- Choose one repeated task and one owner.
- Collect 10 representative examples, including messy edge cases.
- Set a baseline: current time, accuracy, and review effort.
- Decide what data must never leave your environment.
- Test permissions, exports, integrations, and failure behaviour.
- Require human review for important outputs during the pilot.
- Write down the result: keep, change, or stop.
