Rehearse the operation before it’s real.
Plan, run, and score trials and simulations — dress rehearsals, day‑in‑the‑life, integrated systems tests, and drills — then turn what you learn into evidence and fixes.
Watching the contractor test equipment is not a trial.
System testing proves the equipment works. A trial proves the operation works — your people, running your procedures, under realistic load, measured against what “ready” means. They answer different questions, and only one of them is yours.
Commissioning witness
- Confirms the asset performs to spec.
- Run by the delivery team, on the delivery clock.
- Green means “it works,” not “we can run it.”
- Tells you nothing about staffing, procedures, or recovery.
Operational trial
- Proves the operator can run and recover the operation.
- Realistic scenarios, real roles, real timings.
- Scored against readiness criteria — pass or fail.
- Every finding feeds fixes and evidence before opening.
Plan → Run → Score → After‑action → Proof.
A repeatable loop that turns a rehearsal into measured readiness — and routes what fails into fixes, not a filing cabinet.
Trials that mirror the operation — including the bad days.
A trial is only as useful as it is realistic. Build scenarios that stress the operation the way opening week will.
Realistic scenarios & load
Model peak volumes, concurrency, and the sequences your operation will actually face.
Every role, on the clock
Staff the trial with the real teams and hand‑offs, so timings and coordination are genuine.
Injects & failure modes
Test the unhappy path — disruptions, diversions, and outages — not just the happy path.
Score against criteria — not a feeling in the room.
- S‑01Pass/fail against success criteriaEach scenario is judged against explicit criteria — the same criteria the gate depends on.
- S‑02Capture timings and throughputRecord how long things took and how much the operation moved, not just whether it “worked.”
- S‑03See the pass rate — and the dragA trial score that shows what’s holding readiness back, so the next run targets the right thing.
Trial success criteria are readiness criteria
Scores tie back to the criteria on the Evidence & Gate Governance chain — so a passed trial is proof against a specific requirement, not a standalone certificate.
After‑action that ends in fixes and muscle memory.
- A‑01Findings with ownersEvery gap from the trial becomes a finding with a root cause and an accountable owner.
- A‑02Route to remediationFindings flow into remediation loops — the same mechanism as field inspections.
- A‑03Re‑run and build muscle memoryRepeat the trial to confirm the fix and rehearse the team, run over run.
Trials build the team, not just the record
Repeated, realistic rehearsal is how an operation gets fast and calm on opening day — the confidence a single pass can’t buy.
A passed trial proves capability — it isn’t certification.
A good trial shows the operation can run and recover. It doesn’t replace a regulator’s safety certification or an owner’s acceptance — and a trial result becomes accepted evidence only when it’s reviewed and accepted.
Trials validate operating capability. Gates still decide.
Trial results flow in as evidence candidates and are promoted to accepted evidence through Evidence & Gate Governance — where the owner, regulatory, and acceptance gates make the call.
Powered by CitiriOS. Connected to the launch.
Trials prove the operation before it goes live — feeding evidence, running from field checklists, and de‑risking the cutover.
Run a trial end to end — plan to proof.
Book a demo built around your dress rehearsal, day‑in‑the‑life, or drill — from scenario design to scored results and remediation.
Trial figures shown are illustrative, not a customer result. Trials validate operating capability and do not replace regulatory certification or operational acceptance. Ready Score is a CitiriOS capability. Opti suggests and cites; people decide.
