The Gauge stage told you where the landmines are across data, operations, and organizational culture. Now, it is time to pick a safe, high-value spot to plant your first flag. Nail Pilots is about choosing two or three use cases that are small enough to run fast yet big enough to prove that AI can move the needle. You will decide whether a pre-built copilot, a bespoke agent, or some other solution will provide you with the quickest path to value. You will need to frame each pilot with a clear goal, success metric, and exit criterion. The result is a short list your sponsor can fund tomorrow, and your change team can launch next Monday.
