Prompt

Inputs: [PILOT IDEA], [RESOURCE LIMIT], [SUCCESS MEASURE]. Specify exposure, observation window, minimum evidence, stop conditions and customer-harm signals before the test starts. Output: A one-page pilot charter and decision log template. Check: Success and failure rules are observable and do not move after results arrive. If essential information is missing, identify it rather than filling the gap with a guess. State who can pause the pilot immediately when the customer-harm signal appears.
