Pilot screening — not an automated intake form

Pilot intake template

Preview template for controlled pilot conversations

Purpose

This template helps you summarize one recurring workflow before a controlled SDVM pilot screening conversation. It is not a sales form, a hosted submission portal, or a guarantee of pilot acceptance.

When to use it

Use it when you want to check whether your workflow may be ready for a narrow SDVM pilot — before sharing traces, logs, or metadata. Complete the sections you can; unknown fields are acceptable at screening stage.

Workflow overview

  • Workflow name / label: _(short description)_
  • Domain: e.g. coding, bugfix, research, ops automation
  • Recurrence: how often comparable runs occur
  • Stages / handoffs: main steps, tools, or agents involved

Recurrence and comparability

  • Comparable runs available: approximate count or range for PRE baseline
  • PRE/POST feasibility: can you run a comparable follow-up after one narrow intervention?
  • Known comparability gaps: changing prompts, models, data sources, or scope between runs

Trace, log, and evidence availability

  • Primary evidence source: Langfuse, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, custom logs, CI artifacts, or other tracing
  • Export path: how traces or logs can be shared (anonymized if needed)
  • Evidence gaps: missing handoffs, retries, tool calls, or stage boundaries

Known failure or degradation pattern

Describe what you observe today — skipped steps, repair loops, handoff noise, plausible-but-drifting outputs, or rising rework — without claiming root cause.

Tools and surfaces involved

List observability, orchestration, or logging surfaces in use. SDVM is workflow-engine agnostic; the current validation path is Langfuse-first, with broader surface compatibility under evaluation.

Candidate intervention surface

Identify one narrow edge you could test if screening supports a pilot — for example:

  • prompt or checkpoint summary
  • handoff contract or context bundle
  • tool-call or retry criteria
  • uncertainty gate or repair threshold

Data sensitivity and anonymization

  • Authorization status: authorized / pending / not yet authorized
  • Redaction approach: what will be removed before sharing
  • NDA required: yes / no / unknown

Do not include secrets, credentials, customer payloads, or private data in email or public channels.

Sponsor / technical owner

  • Accountable sponsor or owner: name and role
  • Technical reviewer: who can interpret PRE/POST/DELTA and test one intervention
  • Contact path: email or agreed channel

Expected next step

Email a completed or partial summary to [email protected]. Screening may result in sufficient, partial, or insufficient readiness — not a numeric score and not a full SDVM diagnosis.
