Pilot runbook

Operator-ready checklists, scripts, and intervention playbooks.

This is the concrete implementation layer for partner teams: week-by-week tasks, red-flag logic, and downloadable artifacts.

Week-by-week launch checklist

Week 0

+ Confirm cohort list and owner responsibilities

+ Approve scorecard baseline and intervention thresholds

+ Run counselor briefing using first-session script pack

Week 1

+ Launch participant kickoff communications

+ Complete setup and target-list baseline for each participant

+ Run first operating review and assign any adoption interventions

Week 2

+ Enforce one signal-driven action per active participant

+ Review stalled participant queue against trigger thresholds

+ Coach counselor teams on prep-brief integration before meetings

Week 3

+ Validate prep quality on high-stakes conversations

+ Measure session-yield ratio and context rebuild reduction

+ Prepare day-30 decision packet with evidence and recommendations

Red flags and intervention triggers

+ No meaningful participant action for 7 days

+ Two or more overdue follow-ups without counselor intervention

+ Prep-brief adoption below 60% for interview-active participants

+ Session-yield ratio below target for two consecutive weeks

Intervention sequence:

+ Trigger 1: counselor 1:1 reset within 48 hours

+ Trigger 2: program-lead escalation and revised action plan

+ Trigger 3: sponsor visibility if no movement after one intervention cycle

Before/after session prep walkthrough

Before: counselor spends 20-30 minutes reconstructing what happened since last call.

After: counselor checks what-changed summary, trigger flags, and next high-stakes conversation prep in under 10 minutes.

Target result: more session time on strategic decisions, less on status reconstruction.
