Why it exists
A prototype is not a decision until it has run with real users
The pilot measures what real users do against an agreed baseline, so the decision to scale or stop rests on evidence.
What participants will be able to do
01
Agree the approvals route with IT, security and data owners02
Set success measures and a baseline before go-live03
Run the pilot with real users, and measure it04
