Seven steps to a first test

Small steps, not daily deadlines. Open a step for guidance, then check it off when you’re ready.

Up next: choose one outcome.

  1. 01Choose one outcome

    Write who this helps and what you want to learn. Set a time and spending limit.

    Make an experiment brief →
  2. 02Set the quality bar

    Choose an output and write what would make it useful. For an AI workflow, time a comparable manual task before claiming a saving.

    Build a two-role team →
  3. 03Make the smallest version

    Use approved inputs. Keep the first attempt small enough to inspect yourself.

    See example workflows →
  4. 04Check and correct

    Check sources, accuracy, and usefulness. Count briefing, review, fixes, failures, and setup as real work.

    Measure the effort →
  5. 05Try it with someone

    Ask a willing, relevant person to attempt the task. Watch where they hesitate; record behavior separately from compliments.

    Use the pilot prompts →
  6. 06Record what happened

    Log actual time, costs, output, and response. Leave unknowns blank. A completed task is not proof of income.

    Open my evidence log →
  7. 07Choose the next move

    Continue, change one assumption, or pause. Pick one small next action and a realistic review date.

    Plan my restart →
Evidence & notesWhat happened, and what will you try next?

Keep observations separate from predictions. Leave unknowns as unknown; avoid customer names or confidential information.

Find a ten-minute restartMake the next step fit the energy you have.

What’s getting in the way: scope, skill, energy, or access to people? Shrink one part until it fits ten minutes. Pausing intentionally is a valid decision.

  • Too big? Sketch one screen or write one paragraph.
  • Unsure? Write the one question you need answered.
  • Low energy? Set up the materials for your next session.
