How to choose 7-day fast validation vs 2–4 week standard pilot?

Short decision chain and want a single-use-case win first → choose 7-day fast validation. Need formal acceptance report, full pillar review, and Phase 2 roadmap → choose 2–4 week standard pilot.

Key points

  • 7 days: typically one use case, minimum viable pillars, six stages compressed + UAT + ROI narrative
  • 2–4 weeks: one use case + six stages in full depth, five-pillar review + acceptance report
  • Can start with 7-day validation then upgrade to standard pilot
  • Slow approvals or scattered data → consider 2–4 weeks directly
  • Same methodology on both tracks; difference is depth and evidence requirements
