1-week LLM pilot plan for growth teams

• Day 1: define success metrics and pick 2–3 candidate models.
• Day 2–3: run a micro-benchmark and document failure modes.
• Day 4: operationalize guardrails, prompts, and logging.
• Day 5: ship one workflow end-to-end and measure impact.
• Deliverable: a decision memo + an internal playbook.

Checklist

1. 1
   Day 1: scope + success metrics

   Pick one workflow (e.g., ad iteration) and define measurable success (time saved, CTR lift proxy, QA pass rate).
2. 2
   Day 2–3: evaluate models

   Use the same test set and prompts across models, then compare failure modes and cost.
3. 3
   Day 4: build guardrails

   Add structured outputs, verification checks, and a regression test set.
4. 4
   Day 5: ship + measure

   Ship one workflow end-to-end, collect outcomes, and write a decision memo.
