Fit criteria

What good founding workflows look like.

Clear trigger and owners

Known boundaries

Known approval and risk boundaries, with observable success criteria such as reduced handling time, fewer incomplete items, faster recovery, or current evidence.

Representative of a broader team or organization rollout if the pilot succeeds.
