Constrained Adoption Pilot

Goal

This document explains how to run a bounded pilot for AletheIA in a constrained or regulated environment.

The purpose is not broad rollout. The purpose is to create a reviewable proof chain that answers:

can the framework operate inside this trust posture?
can the local extension carry the constraints cleanly?
can the team explain why a lane was allowed, gated, or reduced to suggestion-only?

Why bounded pilot evidence matters

In constrained environments, adoption claims should not begin from theory alone.

They should begin from a lane where the team can review:

local trust-boundary posture
local review requirements
local tool restrictions
minimum proof before closure
what was reusable versus what stayed local

Without that bounded evidence, enterprise-readiness remains mostly rhetorical.

Recommended pilot shape

A constrained pilot should begin with:

one lane
one dominant ownership boundary
one local trust posture
one explicit risk-to-gate mapping
one bounded proof chain

A good first lane is usually:

visible enough to teach something
reversible enough to stay safe
constrained enough to avoid broad rollout pressure
already carrying meaningful review expectations

What the pilot should make explicit

A healthy constrained pilot should make at least five things explicit.

1. Local trust posture

State clearly:

what data class the lane handles
what hosting posture is allowed
what tool classes are allowed or blocked
what actions require human gate regardless of confidence

2. Lane boundary

State clearly:

what enters this lane now
what remains outside
what would count as accidental scope inflation

3. Risk-to-gate mapping

State clearly:

what kind of review the lane requires
whether the lane is suggestion-only, bounded execution, or human-gated execution
what would escalate the lane further

4. Minimum proof

State clearly:

what validation is sufficient before closure
what review artifact is expected
what would count as inadequate proof in this context

5. Conversion boundary

State clearly:

what learning might generalize back into AletheIA
what remains enterprise-local and should not enter the framework core

Recommended output set

A bounded constrained pilot usually benefits from these artifacts:

task brief
local trust-boundary posture
risk-to-gate mapping
durable local decision when something meaningful was chosen
handoff if another boundary must continue the work
pilot review describing what was proved and what stayed local

That set is usually enough to create reviewability without inventing a new framework layer.

For S30, that output set can be recorded with the structured, non-normative evidence-loop template:

starter-pack/templates/constrained-adoption-evidence-loop-template.yaml
examples/pilot-conversion/s30-constrained-adoption-evidence-loop.yaml

The template is deliberately a review record, not a schema, collector, compliance preset, CLI promise, or enterprise policy engine. Unknown acceptance, retrabalho, work units and value scores should stay unavailable until a real constrained pilot produces source-backed evidence.

What success looks like

A constrained pilot is going well when:

the lane stays bounded
the trust posture is explicit
reviewers can explain why the lane was allowed or gated
proof stays proportional
reusable learning is extractable without carrying local residue into the framework core

What failure looks like

The pilot is going poorly when:

the team tries to roll out broadly before one lane is legible
enterprise-local rules leak into framework truth
trust posture remains implicit
proof is weaker than the lane’s review demands
the pilot teaches nothing reusable and still expands anyway
