What should a sample request include before a pilot is agreed?
A useful sample request states what the buyer needs to inspect, including source grounding, release boundaries, handling requirements and unresolved design assumptions.
Use the sample request to make your inspection needs explicit, so the resulting generated material can support a practical discussion about suitability and remaining limits.
- Ask for a grounding description explaining which operational patterns inform generation and which details are constructed to serve the proposed task. - Request a disclosure-risk review approach covering distinctive combinations of details, rather than accepting synthetic generation as sufficient assurance on its own. - State required handling restrictions for your team, including whether sample material may enter shared development systems or external model endpoints. - Ask which requested variations the sample demonstrates and which remain untested, so attractive examples do not silently stand for broader coverage. - Identify the people who will review business plausibility and technical usability, with a clear way to record disagreements between those perspectives. - Request a list of known simplifications, especially omitted process branches that could affect how your production agent interprets an otherwise familiar task. - Define the decision the sample should enable, such as proceeding to a scoped pilot or revising requirements before further material is generated.
Make the sample a concrete basis for deciding fit rather than a generic demonstration of plausible business documents.
