## Implementation Phases

### Phase 0: Evidence and governance

Approve required knowledge, resolve revisions, confirm owners, and validate industry assumptions.

Exit criteria:
- Required category gaps have owners.
- Pilot knowledge is approved.
- Data, process, and risk owners are assigned.

### Phase 1: Solution design

Design the Catalog Commerce and Customer Engagement workflow using approved evidence and measurable outcomes.

Exit criteria:
- One bounded business workflow is selected.
- Baseline and target metrics are documented.
- Human escalation and exception paths are defined.

### Phase 2: Controlled pilot

Run a local, human-supervised pilot without autonomous external actions.

Exit criteria:
- Pilot evidence is traceable.
- Accuracy and exception thresholds are met.
- Users approve the operating procedure.

### Phase 3: Operational integration

Integrate approved workflows with business systems after security and ownership review.

Exit criteria:
- Access controls and audit logging are active.
- Operating owners are trained.
- Rollback and incident procedures are tested.

### Phase 4: Measure and scale

Expand only after measured benefit and stable knowledge governance.

Exit criteria:
- Readiness status advances beyond evidence_required.
- Success metrics show sustained improvement.
- Knowledge refresh and review cycles are operating.

## Success Metrics

- Approved product coverage
- Product metadata completeness
- Search-to-product click rate
- Cross-sell conversion
- Catalog freshness and exception rate

## Recommended Next Steps

1. **Close evidence gaps:** Review or create trusted knowledge for: organizations, marketing, operations.
2. **Validate business profiles:** Confirm industry fit and provide reliable size, operating, customer, and performance data.
3. **Select one bounded pilot:** Choose one catalog and category discovery workflow with a human owner and baseline metric.
4. **Approve pilot evidence:** Use only approved knowledge objects and explicitly reviewed service, product, partner, and training evidence.
5. **Measure before scaling:** Track Approved product coverage, Product metadata completeness, Search-to-product click rate before expanding scope.

## Governance
