Skunkworks Pilots, Measured
Start with a Signal Scan. Run a pilot in one workflow. Measure what changes. Decide what to formalize.
Signal Labs
Time-boxed pilots that answer one question
We define a focused problem, establish a baseline, and ship controlled experiments. The output is evidence and a decision memo.
Key Features
Baseline and measurement ledger
2–4 shipped experiments
Scale, stop, or iterate decision memo
Handoff kit and team walkthrough
Workflow Instrumentation
AI adoption designed for real operations
We map workflows, define data and approval boundaries, and test AI interventions safely. Adoption starts from the workflow, not the vendor.
Key Features
Workflow maps and bottleneck analysis
Defined data access and approval thresholds
Templates for prompts, SOPs, and review routines
Risk and governance notes
Training session and runbooks
Program Stewardship
From pilots into operating practice
We turn successful pilots into programs with clear ownership, reporting, and maintenance expectations that survive staff turnover.
Key Features
Program structure and checkpoints
Roadmap built from validated experiments
Metrics and reporting templates
Stakeholder alignment artifacts
Internal champion enablement
30-day handoff transition
Experience Revival
Measured experience pilots
When experience is the product, we prototype before heavy production. Small deployments surface what audiences respond to and what teams can sustain.
Key Features
Experience hypothesis and pilot brief
Prototype and limited deployment
Measurement plan using qualitative and proxy metrics
Creator collaboration planning
Iteration roadmap tied to operating capacity
Explicit production and reputational risk boundaries
How Engagements Progress
Clear timelines. Defined outcomes. No open-ended commitments.
Signal Scan
60 min
Pilot scope defined, go/no-go decision
Primary owner: Executive sponsor + Ops lead + GHSTWRK
Approval gate: Executive sponsor approves pilot scope and budget before proceeding
Signal Labs
4-8 weeks (fixed)
Evidence + decision memo + next-step recommendation
Primary owner: Ops lead + cross-functional team + GHSTWRK
Approval gate: Client reviews and approves all changes before rollout; decision memo includes explicit scale/stop/iterate recommendation
Program Stewardship
Ongoing (monthly)
Handoff system operational, maintenance transition complete
Primary owner: Ops lead + internal champion, supported by GHSTWRK
Approval gate: Handoff completion requires sign-off from ops lead and internal champion; transition documented and approved
Each phase has a defined end point. You decide whether to continue to the next phase. Approval gates ensure you control every decision.
