Voice AI rolled out fast almost always rolls back fast. This phased implementation checklist forces the discipline — foundation, controlled deploy, scale — so the rollout reduces risk instead of accumulating it.

What's inside

Three-phase checklist (Foundation Weeks 1-4, Controlled Deploy Weeks 5-8, Scale Weeks 9+) with weekly milestones, owner assignments, and the success signals required before advancing to the next phase.

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.
