THE DIRECT ANSWER

Rehearse a fixed-scope campaign and a recurring engagement with ordinary account, production and finance users. Include a late approval, an extra request and an external cost adjustment. The pilot passes when the team can explain remaining deliverables, actual effort and intended charges from the same accepted brief and decision history.

Understand the decision

Use sample work with several asset formats and different approvers rather than one uncomplicated task. Introduce a client change after production has started. The rehearsal should reveal whether revisions reach the delivery team and whether finance can distinguish included fees from approved additions and supplier costs.

Work through the requirements

  1. Test project and recurring-service arrangements.
  2. Introduce a brief change and late approval.
  3. Reconcile delivery evidence and intended charges.

Watch for this failure

A completed task board says little about approval rounds or retainer boundaries. Have account management, production and finance resolve the same change scenario themselves before accepting the operating model for live client engagements.

Continue the evaluation

This example defines what to verify, rather than promising a particular Odoo feature. Keep a record of the demonstrated result, configuration, unresolved gaps and person who accepts it.
