Use this after the free Discovery when you need to decide whether to test, defer or stop an automation idea. The goal is not to sell a project — it is to make the next decision evidence-based.

Five gates before implementation
1. Problem gate
Is there one named process, one owner and one measurable pain signal?
Build the brief →3. Governance gate
Are human approval, access control, auditability and stop rules defined?
Check governance →4. Vendor & security gate
Have data handling, supplier risk and operational dependencies been reviewed?
Assess vendor risk →5. Pilot gate
Can the idea be tested in 30 days with a baseline, success metric and rollback/stop rule?
Plan the pilot →Decision matrix
| Evidence | Decision | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Weak problem definition or no owner | Do not automate yet | Use the Brief Builder and clarify ownership. |
| Clear problem but economics unknown | Measure first | Use ROI Calculator / FinOps baseline. |
| Value plausible, controls incomplete | Design safeguards | Use Governance Checklist and Vendor Risk Assessor. |
| Problem + economics + controls are credible | Run bounded pilot | Use the 30-day Pilot Planner. |
| Pilot meets success metric | Consider implementation | Compare optional Zion services or continue self-service. |

The Zion Discovery is always free and online. The report appears immediately and the submission flow sends the result to the work email entered in the questionnaire and to commercial@ziontechgroup.com. You can remain self-service in the Apps Network or choose paid implementation only if the evidence supports it.
