Your progress

Check off each action to record your team's self-review.

Checked items record your team's self-review. They do not confirm that a chatbot is safe, successful, or ready to launch without human review.

Readiness controls

Confirm scope, source quality, and policy guardrails before deciding whether to expand.

Document top intents, out-of-scope boundaries, and baseline KPIs.
Assign source owners and remove stale or conflicting documentation.
Enforce role-based access and audit logs for chatbot configuration.

Escalation and quality controls

Make human handoff reliable and transparent for members and moderators.

Test confidence thresholds and issue-severity routing paths.
Include intent + attempted steps in every handoff summary.
Validate style, accessibility, and safe decline behavior.

Pilot governance and go/no-go

Use team-owned evidence to decide whether to expand, tune, or pause chatbot availability.

Limit pilot scope and maintain active moderator coverage.
Track latency, containment, escalation volume, and sentiment in one dashboard.
Expand only when critical safeguards hold and your team-owned baseline supports it.
