Tool · Open Work 002

What is the smallest pilot that can settle the decision?

Open Work 002 turns one named uncertainty into an end-to-end test with permission to stop.

Open Work 001 decides whether AI should be involved. Use this only after the answer is proceed or prototype first.

Keep protected work protected. Do not enter anything covered by a contract, NDA or duty of confidence—even if it has been generalised. Use the fictional example or describe future work you are free to discuss. This tool does not ask for evidence from past contracts.

What Open Work 002 requires before a pilot can run

It tests one uncertainty through the workflow, compares against a baseline, names who is accountable and defines what would make the work end. Missing governance cannot be offset by a persuasive use case.

No disclosure is required. Use fictional details or describe only future work you are free to discuss. This is not a request for evidence of work already delivered.

01Purpose

Name the workflow and the uncertainty. AI is not an outcome.

What repeated work are you changing? What should become better without mentioning AI? What one uncertainty must the pilot resolve?

02Shape

Small only counts when the test still reaches the workflow.

What is the smallest end-to-end change? What is explicitly outside this pilot?

03Evidence

Decide what would count before the demonstration can charm you.

What current result or process is the baseline? What evidence will support the final decision?

04Governance

These are hard boundaries. Missing one means the pilot is not ready to run.

What cannot happen without a human decision? Who can continue, change or stop the pilot? How long may the pilot run? What result or event means it should stop?
