Support minutes
A few successful matches can still expose an operating failure if manual coordination or exception handling grows faster than plausible value per match.

Model the manual service blueprint, support load, exceptions, trust friction, and capacity limits exposed by a tiny pilot.
Operations & Capacity Map
Time each human step. That reveals where trust, support, or matching rules create more work than the concept can reasonably carry.
| Stage | Human work | Evidence to capture | Failure / recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recruit | Explain the exact prototype promise to each side. | Channel, contacts, qualified commitments, declines. | Revise segment or promise rather than broadening indiscriminately. |
| Intake | Confirm consent, artifact rules, exclusions, and timing. | Questions, incomplete submissions, sensitive-data issues. | Reject or redact unsafe/ineligible material; document reason. |
| Match | Apply declared criteria and coordinate handoff. | Minutes per attempt, match reasons, failed matches, rematches. | Use a predeclared no-match or rematch policy. |
| Deliver | Transfer the artifact or experience through the test channel. | Completion, delay, quality concerns, support requests. | Correction, replacement, cancellation, or refund path as applicable. |
| Follow up | Collect outcome, repeat intent, and unresolved concerns. | Observed use, stated intent, disputes, support minutes. | Close safely; do not pressure participants to continue. |
A few successful matches can still expose an operating failure if manual coordination or exception handling grows faster than plausible value per match.
Do not hide mismatches as “edge cases.” Their causes belong in the evidence ledger because they shape rules and staffing.
Software should follow a stable manual pattern. It should not be used to conceal that the matching rule itself is still unknown.
