Prove the improvement on one bounded workflow
Prove is a fixed-scope pilot designed to answer a practical question: does this workflow improve enough, safely enough, to justify the next move?
What if it underperforms?
If the pilot misses the agreed target, you still leave with a useful answer. You get the scorecard, the observed constraints, the failure modes, and a recommendation to adjust, pause, or stop. The point is disciplined evidence, not forcing a win.
This is where one workflow, one owner, and one scorecard matter most. The point is disciplined evidence, not a broad rollout disguised as a pilot.
- Workflow owner
- KPI scorecard
- Reviewer path
- Scope boundaries
- Success criteria
- Stop, pause, or continue logic
Illustrative KPI examples
Examples only. Final KPIs are set during scoping.
What you get
- A bounded pilot
- A working scorecard
- Review checkpoints
- Findings and decision notes
- A recommendation on what to do next
What you keep
- The scorecard
- Observed constraints and findings
- Key documentation
- Any agreed handoff artifacts
Plain-language review points for IT, MSPs, and data stewards
Before work starts, the scope documents the workflow in scope, systems and tools involved, data types that may be touched, what stays out of scope, the access method, trust boundaries, reviewer checkpoints, retention expectations, and ownership of outputs and documentation.
- Least-necessary access
- Reviewer involvement early
- Evaluation and human-review checkpoints
- Logging and traceability expectations
- No widening of scope without review
- Documentation that survives the engagement
Controls support your internal review process. They do not replace it.
