The next stage for Aerlattice is to evaluate how its planning and review workflow supports people beyond the supplied exercises. A working feature is a starting point. Evaluation also needs to establish whether the application remains useful and understandable when information or requirements change.
Test the assumptions behind the workflow
An exercise begins with a set of known inputs. Evaluation needs to examine incomplete information, changing plans and the different ways people interpret a finding.
Some questions concern the calculations. Others concern the reviewer. Can they tell which inputs a check used? Do they understand what remains uncertain? Can they distinguish an accepted plan from a proposed replacement?
Examine recovery and repeatability
A lost feed, an interrupted session or an unfamiliar import should leave the user able to understand the state of their work.
Aerlattice keeps local project records, decisions and recordings, with complete workspace backups. These capabilities provide a starting point for testing recovery and repeating an exercise to understand what happened.
Let evaluation guide development
Representative user studies and operational validation will help identify which parts of the workflow need to change. Their findings should guide the next stage of development.
