Workflow advisory and implementation

## How can AI help with a recurring workflow?

What does a scoped workflow pilot produce?

A defined task, a named reviewer and a test with agreed success criteria.

GW&Co uses the source material, a draft and human review to test whether a workflow is useful. The agreed pilot scope determines the deliverables below.

What a scoped pilot should leave behind

- A sanitized workflow map
- Named data and review boundaries
- A pilot brief with success criteria
- A documented next action and owner
