Timebox the pilot to 30 days with days 1–3 to choose the workflow, define success criteria and data handling; days 4–10 to instrument traces (request ID, prompt template/version, model provider/settings, redacted inputs, retrieved doc IDs/scores, tool args/returns, outputs, latency, token counts, cost); days 11–17 to build an eval set; days 18–24 to run changes and configure alerts; days 25–30 to review and decide, using a cross-functional team (AI/app owner, platform engineer, security/privacy reviewer, product manager, support/domain expert, legal) and enforce redaction of emails, credentials, payment data and PHI — for example a trace might show classify_ticket (prompt v12, gpt-4.1-mini) returning “Billing issue” with confidence 0.82 in 620 ms, draft_response (claude-3-5-sonnet) in 2,140 ms, and a retry in 2,280 ms.
