AI pilots fail in week two because something basic was missed in week zero — access, training, baseline data, success metrics. This checklist makes every prerequisite explicit so the pilot launches on a foundation instead of a hope.

What's inside

Pre-launch readiness check across access, training, communication, baseline measurement, and rollback plan. Sign off on every item before Day 1.

How to use it

  1. Walk through every item in order — skipping ahead usually means missing the prerequisite that makes a later item work.
  2. Score honestly. The point of a checklist is to surface gaps, not to feel good about what's already done.
  3. Run it again in 90 days. Checklists are a baseline; the value is in the delta between runs.
