A weekly keep-or-retire board with a named owner who can stop funding, before the next wave of volume.

A practical example
A COO inherits 18 ops pilots. Only four have a named business owner, a unit-cost model, and a stop trigger. Over three to four weeks the desk sits ops, finance, risk, and process owners: override rate, exception volume, unit economics, and a written scale-or-retire call for each live workflow. Activity is not value. Most firms never write who can pull the plug.
What you leave with. Scale criteria and stop criteria with a named owner, before the next wave of volume.
Not this. A two-day pilot scorecard slide or a vendor demo day with no stop rights. Calendar for this class of work is measured in weeks, not hours.
