Pilot Program

A focused 15–30 day evaluation, scoped to one decision that matters.

The Decidian pilot is a defined evaluation of one workflow or decision area. It runs alongside your existing systems, uses evidence you already have, and produces a reviewable output the client can inspect, challenge, and act on.

One defined workflow · Alongside existing systems · Minimal disruption
Duration
15–30 days

A focused window with defined start, mid-pilot review, and close.

Scope
One decision area

One workflow or question where a clearer evidence view would change how you act.

Success criteria
Agreed in writing

Set with the client before work begins, and reviewed at the close of the pilot.

How it fits

The pilot runs alongside your existing systems.

Decidian does not replace the systems you already run. The pilot evaluates the relevant evidence in parallel with the existing environment, within the access model and scope agreed with the client — and is designed for minimal operational disruption.

How It Works

Connect. Evaluate. Deliver.

A three-phase engagement structured so procurement, security, and governance teams can review it end-to-end.

Phase 01
Connect

Agree the decision area, scope, access model, and success criteria in writing. Identify the client-side reviewers and named engagement contacts on both sides.

Phase 02
Evaluate

Decidian Intelligence evaluates the relevant evidence in parallel with the existing environment. The pilot runs alongside current systems and does not replace them.

Phase 03
Deliver

The client receives a reviewable decision output, identified evidence gaps, risk indicators, and recommended next steps — all traceable to the underlying evidence.

Success Criteria

What 'a useful pilot' looks like is agreed with the client — in writing — before work begins.

The criteria are specific to the decision area under evaluation and are reviewed together at the close of the pilot.

Decision-area specific

Criteria are tied to the workflow or question under evaluation, not generic metrics.

Reviewable

Each criterion is written so client reviewers can judge whether it was met at the close of the pilot.

Set before work begins

Captured in the engagement documentation alongside scope, access, and roles.

Reviewed at close

The final review walks through each criterion with the client and the evidence behind the answer.

Client Responsibilities

What the client provides.

A pilot is a two-sided engagement. The following are the client's contributions to make the evaluation meaningful.

01
Executive sponsor

A named sponsor who owns the decision area under evaluation and can authorize scope and access.

02
Defined decision area

One workflow, question, or decision where a clearer view of the evidence would change how the organization acts.

03
Access to the relevant evidence

The systems, documents, or datasets needed for the agreed scope, provided under the access model documented before work begins.

04
Reviewer availability

A small group of client reviewers available for scoping, mid-pilot check-ins, and the final review.

05
Internal approvals

Any procurement, security, privacy, or governance approvals your organization requires before an outside party evaluates data.

Decidian Deliverables

What the client receives.

Every deliverable is designed to be reviewed by a qualified person on the client side before it informs action.

01
Reviewable decision output

A structured recommendation for the defined decision area, written so client reviewers can inspect the basis behind it.

02
Evidence gaps

What is missing from the record — information that would strengthen, weaken, or change the conclusion if it were available.

03
Risk indicators

Contradictions, unresolved dependencies, and areas of elevated uncertainty surfaced from the evidence.

04
Recommended next steps

A short set of concrete actions the client can take next, prioritized against the pilot's success criteria.

05
Traceability

Every conclusion links back to the specific evidence that supports it, along with what contradicts or complicates it.

After the Pilot

One decision, made together, at the close of the pilot.

At the final review, the client chooses the next step against the agreed success criteria.

Option 01
Continue

Expand into an ongoing engagement across additional decision areas, workflows, or business units.

Option 02
Extend the pilot

Deepen the current pilot — add adjacent evidence, additional reviewers, or a second decision area under the same scope.

Option 03
Conclude

End the engagement. Data is handled per the agreed exit procedure and the client retains the deliverables.

A note on procurement and approvals
Every organization has its own procurement, security, privacy, and governance processes. The pilot is structured to be reviewable end-to-end, but Decidian does not claim that procurement or internal approvals are never required — those requirements are set by the client's organization and are respected as part of the engagement.

Start with one decision that matters.

A focused 15–30 day pilot, scoped and governed on your terms.
