Pilot Readiness Guide

In plain words

Confirm that a proposed pilot has a real owner, usable inputs, and measurable success criteria.

This document is for teams preparing a focused product pilot. It is designed to help someone make a clear decision, not to create unnecessary process.

What you need

• Named business owner
• Representative data
• A decision the pilot should improve

What to do

• Check readiness.
• Document risks and exclusions.
• Approve a bounded pilot plan.

What good looks like

• The intended outcome is written in plain language.
• One person owns the decision and the next action.
• Inputs, exclusions, and data boundaries are explicit.
• Evidence is reviewed before the work expands.

What this does not promise

This document does not guarantee a business result, replace legal or regulatory advice, or approve production use. Final scope, controls, and acceptance criteria must reflect the actual organization and workflow.

Update notes

When updating this document, change the front-matter date, name the owner, and record any product, policy, or evidence dependency that changed.
