The pilot begins before the first workflow runs.
The important work is defining what the pilot must prove. The workflow, current baseline, systems, authority boundaries, expected users and success criteria should be agreed before the test begins.
Thirty days is an example validation window, not a promise that every workflow requires the same duration. The scope should determine the timeline.
Evidence should accumulate across the operating path.
The pilot should leave enough evidence to review whether Draveon improved the specific operating problem under test and whether the control model is acceptable for broader use.
- Workflow completion and exception history.
- Ownership and handoff visibility.
- Approval and execution evidence where applicable.
- Integration readiness and failure behavior.
- AIRA recommendations and the authority boundaries around them.
- User adoption, operating friction and qualitative feedback.
- The agreed business or technical measures from the baseline.
The outcome is a decision, not an automatic renewal.
At the end of the pilot, the evidence should support one of several legitimate outcomes: expand, subscribe, adjust the configuration, extend the test where justified or stop. A controlled pilot is useful because it makes the buying decision more informed, including when the answer is not yet to scale.
