The most productive evaluation teams are 3–5 people representing the functions that will actually use the intelligence: a primary daily user (risk manager or strategy lead); the budget owner; a technical stakeholder if API integration is in scope; and an executive sponsor if strategic intelligence will inform leadership decisions. Evaluations with too many stakeholders slow the process; too few risk missing a key perspective. The goal is to validate that Carver meets the intelligence needs of the people who will use it—not to achieve consensus from the organisation.
