Mapped tools
Start with workflow fit. Use tools only after the inputs, review point, and success metric are clear.
Expected impact
Cycle time, Merged changes, Review defects, Test pass rate
Risk check
Use approved examples, add a review checkpoint, and keep output quality measurable.
Implementation checklist
Start with contained tasks
Require test evidence and code review
Track escaped defects before expanding
Required inputs
These inputs make the pilot more measurable and reduce tool switching later.
