Research Brief for Assistant Workflow Pilots
A small workflow pilot tests whether a research assignment is clear, reviewable, and safe before the queue expands.

Headline signal
4 pilot fields: input, output, reviewer, stop rule (NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0). Treat this as context for planning, not a guarantee about a particular assistant or operating result.
Analysis and operating context
Methodology: the pilot uses reversible work and explicit controls so early failures improve the brief instead of becoming hidden production risk.
Define the input record, allowed actions, expected output, source standard, access boundary, reviewer, and escalation path before the first assignment.
Sample completed and returned items, classify the failure mode, and revise the SOP only after the owner agrees on the new finish condition.
Keep payments, security administration, sensitive exceptions, and policy changes with the internal owner.
