Proof of Concept Evaluation
The PoC verdict: success criteria met, effort honest, and the go/no-go evidence.
5 questions · 1 page · about 4 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
PoCs end in decisions that outlive their evidence unless the evidence is written down. This evaluation collects it at PoC close: the agreed success criteria scored one by one, integration effort honestly logged against estimates, surprises both directions, and the recommendation with its conditions.
The criteria-scored discipline prevents the classic PoC failure: success redefined at the end to match whatever happened.
