Wiki: What is a pilot metric?

Definition A pilot metric is the one measurable outcome you use to judge whether an early implementation is working.

Why it matters Healthcare pilots fail when teams measure too many things and learn nothing decisively.

Good pilot metrics Good metrics are close to the workflow you are changing: time saved, turnaround time, completion rate, adoption, escalation rate.

Rule Pick one leading metric, one safety metric, and one stop condition before the pilot starts.
