Pilot-to-Production AI Playbook
A six-phase playbook for getting AI pilots out of demo-land and into production with the controls, evaluation, and adoption to sustain them.
The pilot brief template, pre-production gate, staged rollout plan, and sustain-phase rituals that separate pilots that ship from pilots that stall.
What's inside
- One-page pilot brief template with kill criteria and sponsor accountability
- Six-criterion pre-production gate (Outcome, Quality, Cost, Risk, Operations, Adoption)
- Staged 10%/50%/100% rollout plan with explicit go/no-go checkpoints
- Sustain-phase rituals: regression evals, cost-per-outcome tracking, graceful sunsetting
What you'll get out of it
- A pilot that ships — or a defensible kill decision — within 8 weeks
- An evaluation discipline that survives the next model upgrade
- An adoption design that the workflow's owners actually use
Who it's for
- Sponsors of AI pilots that look great in demo but stall before launch
- Heads of AI / Data designing a portfolio of production use cases
- Product and ops leaders responsible for the workflow the AI lives inside
