Pilot Programs: Testing the Right Things
Pilot design checklist
- Use real document types (and edge cases)
- Define accuracy metrics and how they’ll be measured
- Test confidentiality safeguards (roles, logs, exports)
- Measure user workflow impact (time saved, friction, rework)
- Plan an exit path if pilot fails
Template
