AI ENERGY LEADERS — ONE-PAGE PILOT CHARTER https://aienergyleaders.com/guides/ai-pilot-roadmap/ This planning worksheet is a starting point. Adapt it to your organisation. 1. WORKFLOW Who is the user? What repeated task will this pilot support? What is explicitly outside scope? 2. OWNERSHIP Business owner: Technical owner: Domain reviewers and allocated time: Risk/security reviewer: 3. VALUE HYPOTHESIS Current baseline: task volume, total time, quality, rework. Proposed improvement: How will we measure total effort INCLUDING review and corrections? 4. DATA AND ACCESS Approved sources and versions: Access permissions and exclusions: Owner responsible for source freshness: 5. EVALUATION Representative held-out tasks: Quality and value thresholds agreed before the trial: Critical failures that block rollout: Checks for unsupported answers and unauthorised access: 6. DELIVERY Weeks 1–2: baseline, sources, evaluation set. Weeks 3–4: bounded workflow, evaluation, critical fixes. Weeks 5–6: limited user trial, decision review. Prerequisites or approvals that may extend this schedule: 7. DECISION GATE Date and decision-maker: STOP if: REVISE if: EXPAND only if: Ongoing support owner, monitoring, and rollback process: Released capacity is not automatically cash savings. Record costs and uncertainty alongside benefits. Retain human approval for consequential work.
