30-day controlled pilot proposal.

The first pilot should be narrow, measurable, and review-owned. Discovery uses workflow descriptions only. Any production connection to firm systems requires normal vendor, security, privacy, and professional review.

Week 1

Workflow discovery and boundary map

Name the pressure point, trigger, source systems, approval owner, prohibited data, source context, and 30-day proof metric.

Week 2

Draft support output

Design the sidecar output: routing queue, exception summary, missing-item checklist, status packet, or reviewer-ready notes.

Week 3

Reviewer-controlled test

Run the support lane against approved workflow notes. Do not send client-facing output without human approval.

Week 4

Partner review and decision

Compare proof metric, risk boundary, staff feedback, and next-step recommendation. Approve, revise, or stop.

Hard boundary

No client files, tax IDs, bank data, payroll registers, tax returns, audit evidence, or private financial statements in discovery.

Human owner

A qualified firm professional approves tax, audit, payroll, accounting, client communication, invoice, filing, and payment decisions.

Success proof

Measure faster owner assignment, fewer unresolved exceptions, cleaner packets, fewer repeated follow-ups, or better partner visibility.
