Define the current process
Describe the input, output, reviewer and decision the work supports. Record the time, error patterns and rework in the current workflow. Good candidates are bounded enough to compare, such as organizing approved interview notes or preparing a first draft from a verified brief. Avoid assuming faster generation means a better result.
Assess information and error risk
Identify sensitive material, permission constraints and the consequences of a misleading output. Decide what should not enter the system and which tasks require specialist oversight. Review the actual provider settings and terms before using business data; this guide does not establish a particular tool's protections.
Run a limited comparison
Use representative examples and explicit acceptance criteria. Measure reviewer effort as well as generation time, and record failures rather than only successful demonstrations. Assign ownership for monitoring and changes. A useful pilot ends with a decision to adopt, revise or stop, supported by the observed tradeoffs.
Put the decision into practice
- Define a bounded task.
- Record baseline quality and effort.
- Assess data and error risk.
- Include reviewer time in the comparison.
- Set adoption and stop criteria.
