The Planner does not display invented capability percentages. You select a task, baseline the current method, run a safe bounded experiment, and keep evidence before deciding whether to continue.

30 days

Select one task, map its process, and measure time, quality, and rework across at least three examples.

60 days

Test one bounded step with synthetic or de-identified data, then log errors, human checks, and limitations.

90 days

Use the reviewed method in a real cycle with the process owner's approval, or stop if the result is not good enough.
