Acceptance criteria
What proves the pilot worked.
Roster import completes with fewer than 3 percent blocking exceptions.
Chapter admin logs or updates at least 25 referral records during pilot.
Stale follow-up queue is reviewed weekly and exported in the sponsor report.
Pilot review produces a go, pause, or expand decision for CRM integration.
Pilot order accepted: Signed order form, chapter owner, sponsor report audience, and six-week pilot window confirmed.
Roster import approved: Member records loaded with fewer than 3 percent blocking exceptions and sponsor fields validated.
Risk controls
What stays out until it is approved.
Pilot risk control 1: Do not sell this as a social network, CRM replacement, or member billing platform in the first pilot.
Pilot risk control 2: No member billing, event ticketing, or dues management in the first pilot.
Pilot risk control 3: No bidirectional CRM sync unless the integration add-on is signed.
Referral attribution can become political if sponsor credit is not defined.: Lock the attribution rule and report wording before the pilot starts.
CRM integration can expand scope before the network proves adoption.: Ship CSV export first and evaluate CRM sync after the chapter report review.
Do not promise private member-to-member messaging as part of the pilot.
Do not commit to real-time CRM writeback before API review.
