When to use this
Use this when code review would directly improve slow reviews and missed edge cases.
It is a good pilot candidate when the work happens often, has a clear owner, and can be tested with recent real examples.

Mapped tools
Start with workflow fit. Use tools only after the inputs, review point, and success metric are clear.
Expected impact
Measure the pilot with review time, defect discovery, and test coverage.
The expected impact should be visible in faster cycle time, fewer manual corrections, or more consistent work quality.
Risk check
Use approved examples, add a review checkpoint, and keep output quality measurable.
Watch for drift, incomplete context, or overconfident outputs before moving the workflow into regular use.
