What should a buyer include in a pilot request for allocation material?

Put these items in your pilot request so the first sample can be reviewed against clear criteria.

- Name one or two obligation types and a setting, such as insurance premiums or utility bills, and state clearly what is out of scope for this round. - State the task shape you need: supervised examples, preference pairs, a held-out evaluation set, or a tool-based environment with a reset call. - List the exception types to weight, such as short payments, third-party payers, disputes, duplicates and reversals, so the sample is not dominated by easy matches. - Ask for the schema, policy files and a generation manifest alongside the cases, not only the cases themselves. - Say which checks you will run, such as reconciliation, referential integrity and an independent re-derivation of labels from policy. - Ask how train, validation and test splits will be made, and how near-duplicate cases are kept apart. - Agree who will review grounding and disclosure risk on the sample, and what they will look for. - Raise licence questions early: permitted uses, sharing, retention, publication and whether regenerated versions are included.
