PILOT PROCESS

What happens after the demo.

The first sale is not a vague platform promise. It is a scoped pilot with a technical owner, one repository, one or more workflows, and a concrete requirement: deterministic execution plus replay and audit visibility inside a real engineering environment.

WHAT THE PILOT IS NOT

Not this No hosted login rollout
Not this No broad platform migration
Not this No claim of autonomous production orchestration on day one
STEP 01 Scope one workflow repo, owner, constraints, and success criteria are locked first
STEP 02 Install privately runtime, tools, and review boundary are aligned inside the customer environment
STEP 03 Run proof and review the customer sees replay, audit output, and a rollout decision surface

DISCOVERY QUESTIONS

Every serious pilot starts with a narrow set of facts, not with a generic request form.

QUESTION 01

Which repository is in scope?

The pilot needs a real repository, not a hypothetical use case.

QUESTION 02

Who owns the workflow?

One technical owner is needed to validate policy constraints and output quality.

QUESTION 03

Which workflow breaks first?

Pick the task path where execution variance, debugging cost, or audit gaps already hurt.

QUESTION 04

What constraints matter?

Repository access, hosting boundaries, security policy, and tool restrictions shape the package.

PILOT PREREQUISITES

Before implementation starts, the commercial and technical boundaries need to be explicit.

CUSTOMER INPUTS

  • Repository access and one technical owner
  • One active workflow to prove first
  • Tool and security constraints
  • Success criteria for replay and audit visibility

EXECINSPECTOR OUTPUTS

  • Installed runtime surface in the target repository
  • Deterministic task flow for the agreed workflow
  • Replay and audit review surface
  • Handoff and next-phase recommendation

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE DEMO

A narrow timeline makes the first sale safer for both sides.

01

Scope the pilot

Package, repository, owner, and workflow are selected with clear constraints.

02

Install privately

The runtime is aligned in a customer-controlled repository or private environment.

03

Run the first proof

One or more workflows are executed with replay plus audit visibility in place.

04

Decide the next phase

The team decides whether to stop, extend, or move toward a larger private rollout.

EXPECTED OUTCOME

The first commercial success is operational clarity, not feature volume.

Repeatable workflow

The selected task path becomes easier to run and review with less hidden behavior.

Replay and audit surface

The team can inspect execution history instead of guessing what happened.

Sharper rollout decision

The customer can decide whether the model deserves a broader private deployment.

Clear boundaries

The pilot exposes what is ready today and what still belongs to a later product phase.

WEEK 1 DELIVERABLES

The buyer should be able to point at concrete outputs within the first week.

DELIVERABLE 01

Scoped workflow record

The repository, owner, workflow, and policy boundary are documented in execution terms.

DELIVERABLE 02

Replayable first path

At least one meaningful task path runs with event visibility and a declared node sequence.

DELIVERABLE 03

Review surface

The team can inspect what happened, what was touched, and what remains gated for review.

DELIVERABLE 04

Rollout decision

The customer can stop, extend, or widen the private rollout with evidence rather than optimism.

SAMPLE PILOT BRIEF

The first call should produce a brief that engineering and procurement can both understand.

EXAMPLE BRIEF

Auth Review Determinism Pilot

Qualified
Customer shape Series A SaaS, 14 engineers, one backend repository
Workflow in scope AI-assisted auth code review and validation path
Success criteria Replayable review trace, typed tool usage, audit-ready event record
Package fit Team Pilot, because two review workflows need handoff discipline

The brief is deliberately operational: repository, owner, workflow, constraints, and proof artifacts. It avoids broad AI transformation language until the first deterministic path is proven.

BOOKING INTAKE

Start the pilot review inside ExecInspector.

This form writes directly into the internal ExecInspector intake inbox. It is designed for one thing: qualifying a real repository, a real workflow, and a real owner before any pilot is scoped.
