## Practical steps

1. Choose a small question
Focus on a guest welcome, a setup handoff or basic reporting. Avoid designing a test around a feature that is outside the selected plan.

2. Check the full requirement
Confirm hardware, internet service, permissions and operator availability. A zero software price does not supply the venue’s network or technical ownership.

3. Define the next decision
Write what would justify continuing, upgrading or stopping. Review observed usage against the plan before expanding the test.

## Review before acting

Compare the completed pilot with the original question. If the test changed substantially, record the new scope before making a purchasing conclusion.

Watch for: Do not promise unlimited guest use merely because the selected plan has no monthly software fee.

This worksheet is a planning aid. Confirm product availability and the approvals needed for your specific environment.
