Bring one page: proof, timeline, guardrails.
You’ve been in this meeting.
“We like the idea, but define success.”
“What’s the minimum evidence?”
“What keeps us safe if it fails?”
In regulated settings, healthcare, finance, public sector, that’s how decisions get made.
Use this.
ONE-PAGE WIN DEFINITION
1) Outcome (what moves, by when)
- Example: Reduce claim denials by X% in 90 days.
2) Adoption proof (who, what workflow, what target)
- Example: Nurses complete discharge in under Y seconds.
3) Guardrails (what must stay true)
- Example: Audit evidence auto-generated for A, B, C controls, with a defined rollback path.
4) Proof threshold (minimum pilot that counts)
- This is the bar: 14 days, 3 workflows, 30 real users.
- Pre and post time-on-task and error rate.
- Audit artifacts produced as part of the workflow, not after the fact.
5) Timeline and decision owner (one clear decision point)
- Pilot start date, readout date, go/no-go decision owner.
Align in this order:
- Finance confirms funding gates and release criteria.
- Ops confirms the workflow is real.
- IT confirms integration risk and control evidence.
