Proof of Concept (POC) One-Pager Guidance – Advanced Analytics

Before starting any POC, create a one-page document covering these key aspects. This ensures all stakeholders are aligned on goals and expectations.

1. Project Objective

• Clearly state the main goal of the POC.
• Explain what you aim to achieve and why it matters.

2. Value Proposition

• Describe the value and benefits the POC will deliver.
• Highlight the potential impact on the organization.

3. Target Output

• Specify expected deliverables and outcomes.
• Be clear about what will be produced or demonstrated.
• Example:
  • A working prototype of the anomaly detection model
  • Dashboard visualizing abnormal events
  • Summary report of findings and recommendations

4. Stakeholders

• List key stakeholders and their roles.
• Make responsibilities clear.
• Example:
  • Business Units: Drilling Operations
  • End Users: Engineers

5. Data Sources

• Identify all data sources to be used.
• Include details on data collection and integration.
• Example:
  • Real-time drilling sensor data
  • Historical hook load records
  • prd_zone3.drilling.high_resolution_drilling_parameters

6. Process Replacement or Net New

• State if the POC replaces an existing process or introduces something new.
• Example:
  This POC is a net new process aimed at introducing advanced analytics capabilities to enhance drilling operations. It complements the drilling teams process in deciding when hole cleaning action is required.

Tip: Keep this document brief and focused. Use it to align the team before development begins.
