Baseline Checklist

• Define primary use cases and who will use the product day-to-day.
• Validate end-to-end workflow fit (data in → decisions/actions → reporting).
• Confirm integrations (ATS/HRIS, calendar, email, SSO) and data sync details.
• Review permissions, audit logs, and governance for hiring-sensitive actions.
• Measure impact with a pilot and agreed success metrics (speed, quality, experience).

Era Context

• Expect agentic priorities: safe autonomy, human-in-the-loop controls, and strong auditability.
• Use the tag checklists below to validate product-specific requirements for your stack.
