Operational proof
Cleaner packet quality
More closeouts arrive with count, proof state, reason, sign-off, owner, and status attached.

What Proof Should Exist Before Tillzen Expands to More Stores
The first proof is not a perfect case study. It is evidence that real stores can leave cleaner records, reviewers can see missing proof earlier, and unresolved exceptions have an owner before finance has to reconstruct the day.
Buyer wants proof standards before trusting the pilot path.
Reviewer proof
Less reconstruction
District and finance ask fewer follow-up questions because the closeout record carries the story.
Rollout proof
A practical next step
The readout can justify expand, narrow, coach, extend, or stop based on measured evidence.
Evidence standard
Proof should be visible in the workflow, not only in a deck.
The strongest evidence comes from real closeouts under normal operating pressure. It should show whether the record became easier to inspect and whether follow-up was reduced.
- Packet completeness rate.
- Missing-proof asks by store.
- Vague reason count.
- Unresolved owner count.
- Manager adoption and reviewer follow-up.
Pilot proof standard
The page should move the buyer toward one real closeout.

Common Decision Questions
What proof matters most in the first pilot?
Proof that the closeout record becomes more reviewable: fewer missing-proof asks, clearer variance reasons, named owners, visible statuses, and a measurable rollout decision.
