This is a fictional example of a reporting format.No client, deployment, measured savings, or completed technical checks are represented. All findings, dates, tools, and decisions below are illustrative. Actual coverage depends on the agreed scope and available evidence.
- Example review period
- September 1–21, 2026
- Example review owner
- Business owner with the designated IT reviewer
- Illustrative scope
- One approved text-drafting pilot, a reported-tool register, and available account records
- Not covered
- Undisclosed tools, every employee activity, legal approval, autonomous actions, or custom integrations
The owner’s decision this month
Continue a small drafting pilot using sample data and human review. Do not expand to confidential information or connected business files until the relevant account settings and access questions are resolved.
Approved-tool register: example entries
Illustrative decisions, not vendor certifications or recommendations| Tool / proposed use | Example decision | Owner / limit |
|---|
| Business-managed AI writing account: draft routine replies from sample prompts | Limited pilot approved | Business owner; sample data only; human review before use |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot: proposed use with shared business files | Hold pending access review | IT reviewer; confirm license, permissions, and available settings before connection |
| Personal AI accounts reported by staff | Not approved for business data in this example | Team lead; document reported use and communicate the agreed rule |
Evidence log and open questions
Verified · examplePilot instructions acknowledged
The illustrative training record lists the pilot participants and records the sample-data and human-review rules.
Example evidence: A-01 attendance and acknowledgment record, September 10, 2026. This does not prove every future use follows the rules.
Needs attention · exampleTool register is incomplete
A staff discussion identified a tool absent from the register. It needs an owner, account review, and an explicit business-use decision.
Example evidence: A-02 meeting notes, September 18, 2026. Discovery is limited to reported use.
Not yet verified · exampleShared-file access
No permissions export or completed review was available for the proposed connected-data pilot.
Example evidence: none supplied as of September 21, 2026. Next check: obtain authorized access records and review the agreed locations.
Pilot value: measure before expanding
Example task: draft a routine customer reply from fictional source material, with a person checking the final text.
Evidence gap: no complete baseline or comparable task log is available in this example. No time-saving or return-on-investment claim can be made.
Next measurement: record drafting time, review time, corrections, usable output, and applicable license cost across comparable tasks. The owner then decides to continue, change, or stop the pilot.
Next three actions
- Complete the reported-tool register.
Example owner: team lead. Target: September 25, 2026. Record tool, business account, use, decision, and approver.
- Resolve access questions before connecting shared files.
Example owner: IT reviewer, with business-owner approval. Target: September 28, 2026. Keep the connection on hold until the agreed review and decision are documented.
- Collect a comparable pilot task log.
Example owner: pilot lead. Target: October 5, 2026. Include human review time and corrections; present the results at the next owner review.
What stays in the monthly service?
Within the agreed scope, PBM reviews reported changes and available evidence, updates the tool register and open actions, and discusses decisions with the owner. Quarterly training and pilot reviews help keep the plan useful.
New integrations, major access cleanup, vendor subscriptions, AI usage charges, and extra projects are separate unless the proposal includes them. Initial setup and ongoing monthly management are quoted separately.
