Pilot Evidence

A pilot is valuable evidence when its scope and status are explicit.

Record:

  • pilot organization or anonymized participant identifier;
  • accountable owner;
  • pilot start date and status;
  • workflow being tested;
  • input categories;
  • DigiEmu components used;
  • verification or evidence controls exercised;
  • observed outcome;
  • limitations and unresolved issues.

A controlled pilot may use:

  • fictional data;
  • limited users;
  • isolated environments;
  • reduced operational scope;
  • manual supervision.

Those conditions must remain visible in the evidence.

Do not describe a pilot as production unless the workflow is actually operating in production under the stated conditions.

Prefer concrete statements such as:

  • workflow executed end to end;
  • verification result reproduced independently;
  • export artifact matched expected integrity identity;
  • restore test reproduced the preserved state;
  • pilot user completed the defined workflow.

Avoid replacing evidence with broad claims such as “enterprise proven” unless the evidence genuinely supports that scope.
