# MVP Pilot Validation Report (FEATURE-WP-0003-T06)

**Date:** 2026-06-19  
**Pilot:** `docs/pilots/mvp_pilot.py`  
**Tests:** `tests/test_registry_resolver.py`, `tests/test_sdk_wrapper.py` (incl. UC-H1)

## Scope

End-to-end validation of the WP-0003 MVP against the scored UseCaseCatalog MVP selection.

## Use cases exercised

| UC | Description | Result |
|----|-------------|--------|
| UC-G1 | Register with lifecycle | Pass — registry validates owner, temp review_date |
| UC-A1/A2 | Adopt with wrapper + local provider | Pass — thin client + LocalProvider, no backend |
| UC-C1 | Tenant enable | Pass — `tenant.preview` scoped to `acme` vs `globex` |
| UC-D3 | Agent capability | Pass — `agent.extract` evaluated with agent context |
| UC-E1 | Compute disable per tenant | Pass — `compute.heavy_ocr` disabled for tenant |
| UC-E4 | Emergency kill switch | Pass — kill signal overrides tenant/default at runtime |
| UC-G3 | Explain decision | Pass — `client.explain()` returns reason/source/scope |
| UC-H1 | Provider switch | Pass — `test_h1_provider_switch_without_business_code_change` |

## Observations

- **Adoption effort:** Single-script pilot; a consuming repo can integrate in one small task using the SDK + LocalProvider pattern (aligns with UC-A1 scoring).
- **Explainability:** Decisions include `reason`, `source`, `scope` — sufficient for MVP governance (UC-G3).
- **Runtime control:** Kill switch and tenant overrides applied without redeploy (local values mutated in-process).
- **Compute savings:** Pilot demonstrates disable path; real savings measurement deferred to production adapter work.
- **Canon alignment:** Evaluation uses tenant/agent context dimensions consistent with `docs/canon-mapping.md` (EvaluationScope).

## Fit vs scored catalog

The MVP UCs selected in WP-0003 (A1, C1, D3, E1, E4, G1, G3, H1) are all demonstrated. Deferred items from the catalog remain appropriate for follow-on work:

- Full tenant self-service (higher cost/risk)
- Experimentation analytics
- Complex approval workflows
- Production backend adapters (Unleash/Flagsmith/flagd)

No catalog adjustments required for the MVP boundary.

## Ready for next workplan

Pilot and automated tests satisfy T06 acceptance. Recommended follow-ons (per WP-0004 Production Hardening section):

1. Real OpenFeature provider adapters
2. Entitlement signal integration depth
3. SDK packaging (PyPI) and multi-language examples
4. Adoption validation in a real consuming repository
