Validation

Find out whether AI delivers the value you expect.

Test in practice. Decide with evidence.

Already have an idea or solution in mind? We put the same task to the test, with and without AI. We compare quality, team effort and cost to decide what deserves to move forward and what needs to change.

Value must show up in the work

A good answer is not enough.

We agree on criteria before testing and assess the complete result, including failures and corrections.

Does it complete the task?

We check answers, errors and access permissions. A critical failure can prevent progress even when the other cases perform well.

Does it make daily work easier?

We compare the time spent executing, checking and correcting. AI's speed only helps if the team's work also improves.

Is it worth continuing?

We relate observed costs to the benefit assessed. We also identify what still needs preparation to expand use.

Document review

The same order.
Two ways of working.

For PED-042, the task ends with the outstanding issues checked and the handoff reviewed. That is the result to compare, including the work of the people checking and correcting it.

Without AI

The team handles every step

  1. Read

    Open the order and attachments to locate the data.

  2. Check

    Cross-check destinations, check for the required list and identify the illegible page.

  3. Hand off

    Record outstanding issues, cite the sources and review the next actions.

With AI support

AI prepares. The team checks.

  1. Locate

    AI extracts the fields it can read and links the documents.

  2. Flag

    AI flags differences and gaps. The team checks the alerts and anything that may have been missed.

  3. Review

    AI proposes a summary. The team corrects it and authorizes the handoff.

Expected result in both approaches

Three outstanding issues. One clear handoff.

Confirm the destination, request the packing list and ask for a legible copy of page 2. The handoff is prepared; shipment remains on hold.

What makes the comparison valid?

Same cases and criteria

Use the same orders, documents, permissions and rules. Include common cases and exceptions; control for the effect of already knowing the answer.

The complete task

Record execution, review, corrections and handoff. Separate working time from time spent waiting for missing information or documents.

Explicit costs and limits

Count team effort, licenses and processing per completed handoff. Account for implementation and projections separately. One order demonstrates the method; a decision requires a representative sample.

From evidence to decision

Faster reading.
Review is still slow.

If the test shows the signs below, the recommendation would be to adjust before expanding. This scenario shows how to interpret the evaluation.

Quality

All three alerts appear.

But the summary does not show the source or check supporting each alert. Checking still needs to be easier.

Total effort

Initial reading takes less time.

The reviewer still goes through the entire attachment. A benefit across the complete task has not been demonstrated.

Cost

The benefit still needs to be demonstrated.

Add up review, corrections and technology use per completed handoff before estimating savings.

When should you proceed, adjust or stop?

The criteria are agreed before the test. The recommendation considers all the evidence and the severity of the failures.

ProceedThe benefit holds across the complete task.

What supports the decision

Relevant outstanding issues are identified and can be checked, total effort improves and the cost is justified by the benefit, with no critical failures in the sample evaluated.

Next step

Plan a controlled expansion with clear responsibilities, limits and monitoring. Validation does not automatically authorize production use.

AdjustThere is potential, but the evidence is not yet sufficient.

What supports the decision

As in this scenario: AI helps with reading, but review still takes substantial effort. Incomplete sources or an insufficient sample also prevent a conclusion.

Next step

Correct the issue preventing the benefit, repeat the tests and compare again before expanding.

StopA critical failure or the cost makes use unviable.

What supports the decision

The solution fills in the illegible page with unsourced data, releases an order with conflicting destinations or fails to deliver a benefit that justifies the cost.

Next step

Stop the approach tested and keep the authorized process in place. Evaluate another solution or new conditions before resuming.

What your company receives

From test to decision.
Five concrete deliverables.

You receive a record of what was tested, a comparative evaluation and a recommendation for the next step.

Conclusions reflect the sample and conditions evaluated. Going into production has its own scope.

Validation planThe question the test must answer.

Objective, task, current baseline, evaluation criteria and conditions for proceeding, defined before the experiment.

Documented test setEveryday cases and their exceptions.

Authorized sample, data sources and reference answers. We record permissions, exceptions and what was excluded from the analysis.

Bounded experimentThe solution put to the test.

An experimental version or configuration of the solution, with a record of versions, the environment and execution conditions.

Comparative evaluationWhat improves. What still fails.

Quality, review effort and costs compared with current work. Measured results are kept separate from future estimates.

Recommendation and next stepsProceed, adjust or stop.

Evidence and conditions for the next decision. When the sample is inconclusive, we identify what still needs investigation.

How it works

The people who know the task
take part in the evaluation.

Your team brings examples and assesses how useful the answers are. Gaulett prepares the test, runs the cases and analyzes the evidence with the people responsible.

  1. Define criteria
  2. Prepare and test
  3. Compare and decide

Before you start

A useful test.
Even when the idea needs to change.

Do we need an assessment first?

The services are independent. We can start with validation when there is a defined problem, an approach to test and a basis for comparison. If that is not yet clear, the assessment helps choose a starting point.

What if the test does not justify the investment?

We record the evidence and recommend adjusting, preparing the necessary conditions or stopping the approach tested. Identifying what does not work early also helps guide investment.

Will the solution be ready to use?

The test evaluates a limited use case. Permanent integrations, operational security and production deployment are prepared during implementation.
