• Create prototypes and workflows: Develop practical outputs such as ranked target lists, mapping frameworks, dashboards, prompt libraries, agentic workflows, or lightweight automations that can be tested by business teams.  
• Document what works: Capture methods, assumptions, decisions, risks, limitations, and reusable templates so the Strike Team can convert the pilot into a repeatable playbook.  
• Support knowledge transfer: Teach as they build by preparing demos, quick-start guides, office-hour materials, and short training sessions for ViiV employees.  
• Operate within governance expectations: Follow all ViiV/GSK confidentiality, data access, Legal, Compliance, procurement, and responsible AI requirements.
