Step 3 · Build & Validate

Pilot, PoC, and Verification Methods of Robo Claw in Major Food Service Companies

Once the requirements are finalized, construct a pilot for one brand, one group of stores, one task, and one connection scope, verify both normal and abnormal cases, and then determine whether to transition to production.

Conclusion

It is important to narrow the scope of a pilot. Limit it to one brand, one group of stores, one task, and one connection scope, and make sure to verify abnormal scenarios such as misclassification, incorrect summarization, incorrect translation, incorrect transmission, misrecognition of menu/price information, missing allergy information, insufficient permissions, duplicate execution, prompt injection, and external API failures. Only after confirming that human approval, stop, rollback, and switch to manual operation function as designed can you proceed to deciding on production transition.

Who This Is For

Who This Is For

Targets are the information systems department, store operations managers, and quality/food safety managers who confirmed requirements in the Refine STEP.

What You'll Decide

What You'll Decide in This Step

In the Build & Validate STEP, define the scope of the pilot, build Agent, Skill, and Tool Policy, conduct normal and abnormal tests, and decide whether to move to production.

Pilot Scope

Scope of the Pilot

It is recommended to conduct the Pilot with a limited scope according to the following units.

01

1 brand

Even if multiple brands are being operated, verification will first be limited to a single brand.

02

One group of stores

Rather than all stores, a group of several stores with different characteristics will be targeted.

03

One business process

Limit the verification to the one business process decided in Discover; do not verify multiple business processes simultaneously.

04

One connection range

Limit the connected systems to a minimum to make it easier to verify permissions and approval flows.

Method

Implementation Steps

1. Build the Pilot Environment

Build Agents, Skills, and Tools with test data, without using actual customer or reservation data.

2. Implement Tool Policy

Implement the Allow/Deny scope defined in Refine as a Tool Policy.

3. Test normal scenario

Verify whether expected classification, summarization, and draft are generated for the assumed input.

4. Test abnormal scenarios

Verifies misclassification, incorrect summarization, incorrect translation, incorrect sending, misrecognition of menu/price information, missing allergy information, insufficient authority, double execution, Prompt Injection, and external API failures.

5. Confirm human approval flow

Check whether human verification and approval function properly for operations that require approval.

6. Confirm stop, rollback, and switch to manual operation.

Verify whether procedures to stop processing, roll back, and switch to manual operation in case of abnormalities function properly.

7. Make a judgment based on the production migration criteria

Determine whether migration to production is possible according to the pre-established Go/No-Go criteria.

Data & Systems

Data and Systems Used

Verification data (test data simulating real data) Menu and allergy information Reservation information POS (testing environment) Reservation management (verification environment)

Human-in-the-loop

Where Human Approval Is Required

  • The test personnel confirm and approve whether the menu/price change proposals and daily report summaries generated in the Pilot can be reflected.
  • The settings of the Tool Policy are reviewed by the information systems department, store operations manager, and food safety manager.
  • The responsible person decides on the feasibility of moving to production based on pre-established judgment criteria

Measurement

KPI

Pass rate of test scenarios

The proportion of passed normal and abnormal scenarios

Number of occurrences of misclassification and incorrect sending.

Number of incorrect operations or duplicate processes detected during the Pilot period

User acceptance evaluation

Evaluation of usability and business suitability by actual users

Pitfalls

Common Pitfalls

01

Judged as pass with normal cases only

If you skip verification of abnormal cases, the behavior of the reservation system during a failure in production will be unexpected.

02

Testing with actual customer and allergy data in production.

Using actual customer information or allergy information from the verification stage increases the risk of incorrect sending and information leakage.

03

Not preparing rollback procedures

Without procedures to revert when problems occur, recovery takes time and impacts customer response

Go / No-Go Criteria

Checklist for production migration decision

  • All normal scenario tests have passed
  • The abnormal scenario (misclassification, incorrect sending, missing allergy information, double execution, Prompt Injection, external API failures) has been verified.
  • Human approval flow functions as designed
  • Rollback procedures are established and actual rollback has been confirmed
  • Confirmed that operations outside of permissions are rejected
  • User acceptance tests have resolved practical issues
  • Procedures for switching to manual operation in case of failure are established.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the approximate duration of the Pilot period?

It varies depending on the target operations and the complexity of reservation management and POS integration. Since a uniform period cannot be presented, please consult individually based on the target scope.

Is it possible to verify without using actual customer data?

] Yes, it is possible. We recommend preparing test data that mimics real data and conducting it in a verification environment that does not contain confidential information.

What happens if a Pilot fails?

Review the Refine requirements and Tool Policy, and conduct the Pilot again. It is recommended to continue verification until the standards are met without forcing the transition to production.

Shall we organize the Pilot design and verification together?

The scope, test scenarios, and Go/No-Go criteria can be concretized through discussions in the formal LP.
