Controlled Pilot Application

Apply for a Controlled ICOP Pilot.

Run a controlled review of 3 to 10 project decisions. ICOP maps each decision to available evidence, alternatives, approvals, gaps, and outcome exposure so your team can see where decision traceability is strong or weak.

Confidential and scoped. Synthetic, sanitized, reconstructed, or limited real project context accepted. Human-reviewed.

What a pilot produces

▸Evidence posture
▸Decision gap map
▸Traceability notes
▸Human-reviewed pilot readout
▸No legal advice, no fault assignment, no automated decisions

Engagement Model

A confidential, controlled validation exercise.

The pilot is not a commercial engagement. It is a scoped decision traceability review conducted with the participating organization.

▸Confidential and scoped

▸Suitable for synthetic, sanitized, reconstructed, or limited real project data

▸Focused on one project context, decision set, or risk category

▸Human-reviewed

▸Findings shared with the participating organization

▸No commercial commitment required

Who Should Apply

Teams that must review and defend construction decisions.

ICOP pilots are designed for roles accountable for decision quality, evidence posture and traceability across capital projects.

Owner project managers

Owner representatives

Public-sector project teams

Construction administrators

Program managers

PMO leaders

General contractors

Construction managers

Claims consultants

Technical reviewers

Infrastructure delivery teams

Suitable Pilot Contexts

Where a controlled decision review adds the most value.

Pilots focus on one bounded context per engagement. The list below is indicative, not exhaustive.

Indirect cost claims

Technical change disputes

Contractual exposure reviews

Governance reconstructions

Program post-mortems

PMO maturity assessments

Change order decision review

RFI-to-decision traceability

Schedule-impact decision review

Technical change governance

Decision accountability mapping

Project closeout decision reconstruction

Required Input

Minimum input for a controlled pilot.

No confidential contracts, privileged records or personnel data are required. Synthetic, sanitized or reconstructed context is fully acceptable.

▸3 to 10 project decisions

▸Basic project context

▸Available evidence references

▸Known open issues or risk items

▸Decision dates or approximate sequence

▸Stakeholders involved by role

▸Optional timeline of events

▸Optional sanitized supporting documents

Pilot Output

What participants may receive.

Deliverables are calibrated to the pilot scope. All outputs are human-reviewed and shared with the participating organization.

▸Decision Evidence Posture

▸Evidence Gap Map

▸Decision Traceability Notes

▸Review Questions

▸Decision Packet

▸Human Review Checklist

▸Pilot Readout

▸Recommendations for improving decision traceability

▸Suggested next-step validation scope

Success Criteria

What makes a pilot successful.

The pilot is successful if the project team can identify decision gaps, evidence gaps, unclear review points, undocumented alternatives, or weak accountability trails faster than with its current process.

The success criterion is not whether ICOP produces a perfect answer.

The success criterion is whether ICOP improves the team's ability to inspect decision quality before risk hardens into delay, cost, dispute, or accountability exposure.

Scope Boundary

What ICOP does not do.

ICOP does not provide legal advice, predict claims, assign fault, determine entitlement, replace project managers, replace construction administration, replace contract administration, or make automated decisions. ICOP is a human-reviewed validation exercise for improving decision traceability.

Provide legal advice

Predict claims

Assign fault

Determine entitlement

Replace project managers

Replace construction administration

Replace contract administration

Make automated decisions

Disallowed Inputs

Do not send unrestricted project material.

The pilot application does not require confidential documents. Start with the decision problem and the type of evidence involved.

Unrestricted contracts

Legal advice or privileged claim files

Autonomous approval requests

Full project archive uploads

Private personnel or payroll records

Guaranteed claim-prevention expectations

Pilot Application

Submit a pilot application.

Use this form to apply. Keep the description high-level; do not submit confidential records, contracts, claims or personal data.

Strong applications name one decision type that creates downstream friction: change orders, RFIs, schedule-impact decisions, field-condition conflicts, technical approvals or incomplete evidence records.

After the application is reviewed, the next step is a scoped conversation to confirm whether synthetic, sanitized, reconstructed or limited real context is appropriate for the pilot.
