Use Case Status Model
Use Case Status Model
Section titled “Use Case Status Model”Every DigiEmu case study should identify its operational state explicitly.
DEMONSTRATION
Section titled “DEMONSTRATION”A demonstration proves that a designed workflow can be exercised with controlled or synthetic inputs.
It does not prove live operational use.
PILOT PREPARATION
Section titled “PILOT PREPARATION”The workflow, documentation, controls, and participant discussions are being prepared for a pilot.
A prepared pilot is not yet an executed pilot.
CONTROLLED PILOT
Section titled “CONTROLLED PILOT”A defined participant is exercising the workflow under bounded conditions.
The pilot record should identify:
- owner;
- dates;
- scope;
- data conditions;
- controls exercised;
- observed outcomes;
- unresolved issues.
PRODUCTION
Section titled “PRODUCTION”Use this status only when the workflow is actually operating in production and the evidence identifies the accountable owner, live workflow, production status, and concrete outcome.
EXTERNALLY VERIFIED
Section titled “EXTERNALLY VERIFIED”External verification is an additional evidence property, not a replacement for deployment status.
A demonstration can be externally verified as a demonstration. A production workflow can be production without having external verification.
Always publish the scope of the external assessment.
