Measure the baseline
Document the existing workflow and run a controlled comparison using equivalent workload and starting conditions where practical.
Six-week production pilot
Run your existing operational workflow against a governed path with bounded production authority, policy enforcement, human approval, verification, and evidence.
Who this is for
Designed primarily for agencies and operational teams where several people and systems manage recurring production change across client stores.
Fit indicators, not hard eligibility rules: roughly 10+ managed stores, 3+ team members, and enough recurring work to compare a meaningful workload—often around 500+ changes over a relevant window.
How the pilot works
Document the existing workflow and run a controlled comparison using equivalent workload and starting conditions where practical.
Operate agreed production work through CommerceGov policy, review, approval, controlled apply, verification, and evidence boundaries.
Controlled comparison
The comparison starts from the same or equivalent mutation workload and evaluates the full path to verified production state.
Policy → review → approval → controlled apply → verification
Your current checks, handoffs, production action, and verification where it exists.
What is measured
Elapsed operational time required to reach verified production state.
Corrections or repeated work required to reach the intended state.
Verified production throughput over the measurement window.
Whether each production action stayed within the intended operator, policy, review, and approval boundary.
Whether the resulting production state was authoritatively confirmed.
Applied ≠ Verified. An accepted write is not proof of the resulting Shopify production state.
Production authority
CommerceGov does not replace Shopify role-based access. It governs production authority inside the access Shopify already grants, and it does not give AI autonomous production authority.
Who changed it? Who could approve it? Which store and fields were in scope? What was approved, applied, and verified? The pilot tests whether those questions become reliably answerable.
What you receive
Participation and scope
The team selects bounded production mutation classes, participating operators, stores, policy and approval rules, and comparable starting conditions. Representative catalog fields may be included only when they match the currently supported scope.
Participants need named operational owners, access to the existing workflow for baseline measurement, a meaningful recurring workload, and time for review and evidence readout.
