DEFINE A PILOT

One focused commercial context. One governed proof point.

A strong Octave pilot begins by agreeing five decisions—not by hiding the proposition behind a technical questionnaire.

THE FIVE DECISIONS

Shape the pilot before building it.

01

04

Named business users

Planning, category, marketing, analytics and approver roles

05

Acceptance measures

Planning-cycle, reconciliation, adoption and agreed commercial measures
