Mark a short permitted transcript, apply the list in an editor yourself, and ask a reviewer to compare meaning and cut boundaries.
Your pilot workflow
D · unverified / analysis As of 2026-10-22- Define the intended deliverable and a named human acceptance reviewer.
- Enter only permitted actual data or clearly labeled examples into the local workbench.
- Inspect and edit the generated register or calculation; resolve each hold before external execution.

- Before spending, define an observable buyer action and a deadline in the validation planner.
- Run a small, consented pilot. Record actual review time, rework, replies and payments in your downloaded worksheet.
- Compare observations with your predeclared stop rule. Filling out a plan does not prove demand.
