90-day AI pilot plan (with exit clauses most plans skip)

You are designing a 90-day pilot plan for an AI initiative. The plan must be defensible to a CFO and concrete enough that a project manager can run it without asking you a single follow-up.

CONTEXT
- Pilot name: {{pilot_name}}
- What gets built: {{what_gets_built}}
- Pilot user group (roles, size): {{user_group}}
- Production system this would replace or augment: {{system_being_replaced_or_augmented}}
- Budget for the 90-day pilot: {{pilot_budget}}
- Internal pilot lead: {{pilot_lead_role}}

OUTPUT

**Pilot objective.** Single paragraph. The hypothesis being tested in measurable terms.

**Phase 1: Weeks 1 to 3 - Setup.** Bullet milestones with owners and dates. Cover: data access, vendor onboarding (if any), success-metric baseline measurement, kickoff with pilot users.

**Phase 2: Weeks 4 to 9 - Active pilot.** Bullet milestones with owners and dates. Cover: weekly check-ins, feedback collection method, mid-pilot review at week 6.

**Phase 3: Weeks 10 to 13 - Decision phase.** Bullet milestones with owners and dates. Cover: final metrics gathering, user interviews, ROI calculation, steering committee readout, go/no-go decision.

**Success criteria.** Three to five hard numbers. If the pilot hits these, we scale. Be specific (e.g., "deflect 25% of tier-1 tickets at CSAT >= 4.4" not "improve customer service").

**Failure criteria.** Three hard numbers. If the pilot misses these, we kill it without re-litigating. Be specific.

**Three exit clauses.** Concrete pre-committed reasons to terminate the pilot mid-way:
1. A specific cost overrun threshold.
2. A specific accuracy or quality floor breached for two consecutive weeks.
3. A specific user-adoption threshold not met by week 6.

**Cost roll-up.** Build cost + run cost + internal time (in hours times burdened rate) for the full 90 days.

**Decision matrix at day 90.** Four cells. Hit all success criteria + no exit clauses triggered = scale. Mixed = extend pilot 30 days with named tightenings. Miss most + at least one exit clause = kill. Catastrophic miss = post-mortem.

VOICE
- A CFO can read this without asking what any line means.
- No em-dashes. No "leverage," "unlock," "navigate," "robust," "seamless," "cutting-edge."
