Pilot Scope Statement
Exactly what is being tested, defined precisely.
Proof
Prevents the pilot from expanding into an undefined build.
A pilot without a plan is just spending money. One month to define exactly what will be tested, what success looks like, and when to go, change, or stop.
A pilot without a plan is just spending money. Most AI pilots fail not because the technology does not work, but because nobody defined what success looked like before the test started.
This service takes one AI-ready workflow and designs the pilot that will test it properly. I define exactly what will be tested and what is out of scope, who owns the pilot, which users are involved, what data and systems are required, and what type of AI solution to consider.
The output is a complete pilot brief. Anyone who builds or runs the pilot works from this document. Before the pilot starts, the business knows what result means proceed, what means adjust, and what means stop.
Scope, participants, data, risk, test method, criteria, metrics, and the go/change/stop rule, all defined before the build begins.
This layout is for explaining a service as a repeatable operating shape: who it is for, how the work moves, and what the client leaves with.
The workflow specification has been delivered. The redesign is done. Now the business needs a plan for testing it, with defined success criteria, not a vague brief.
Leadership, a board, or a partner group needs to see that the pilot is structured, with clear success criteria, risk controls, and a decision rule that produces a usable answer.
An implementation partner or internal team is waiting to start. They need a pilot brief detailed enough to work from, not a slide deck with good intentions.
With leadership, define exactly what the pilot will test: which version of the workflow, which staff cohort, which time period, and what data it will use.
Week 01Define the test method, the baseline to measure against, the metrics that will be tracked, and the data collection approach.
Week 02Document the risk controls, human review requirements, escalation rules, acceptance criteria, and the go/change/stop decision rule.
Week 03Present the complete pilot brief. Confirm it is sufficient to brief the implementation partner or internal team. Introduce them if needed.
Week 04Exactly what is being tested, defined precisely.
Prevents the pilot from expanding into an undefined build.
What this pilot does not cover, written clearly to prevent drift.
Protects the pilot from scope creep.
Who runs the pilot, who uses it, and who signs off.
Makes ownership explicit before testing starts.
What could go wrong and what controls are in place.
Addresses risk before it becomes a reason to cancel.
Where people stay in the loop and what they check.
Keeps judgement and accountability inside the pilot.
The specific conditions that must be met for the pilot to be considered successful.
The business knows what a pass looks like before the pilot begins.
What will be measured and how.
Keeps measurement from shifting halfway through the pilot.
The explicit result that means proceed to build, adjust the approach, or stop the pilot entirely.
Turns the pilot into a decision instead of an experiment with no endpoint.
