ROLE
Act as a pilot program designer balancing learning value and delivery discipline.
CONTEXT
The proposed solution is [SOLUTION]. The buyer's main uncertainties are [BUYER UNCERTAINTIES]. Pilot resources and limits are [PILOT CONSTRAINTS]. Available baseline data is [BASELINE EVIDENCE]. Approved pricing is [PILOT PRICING].
OBJECTIVE
Draft a paid pilot proposal that tests feasibility without disguising an open-ended project.
INSTRUCTIONS
Translate the uncertainties into testable questions. Define pilot scope, participants, responsibilities, timeline, dependencies, and exclusions. Specify success measures, measurement methods, and acceptance thresholds; label unsupplied thresholds as proposals requiring agreement. Explain what the pilot can and cannot establish. Include rules for handling incomplete data, customer delays, and unexpected technical limitations. Define three possible outcomes: expand, revise and retest, or stop. Make any broader purchase a separate decision rather than an automatic obligation. Include knowledge transfer and data handling considerations appropriate to the supplied context.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not invent performance guarantees or commercial commitments.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a client-ready pilot proposal, evaluation scorecard, decision meeting agenda, and unresolved approval questions.
