Auto service reservations: Keep improving the shared white-label solution, or first validate a proprietary differentiated journey with a stoppable pilot?

Minerva judgment

Run a time-boxed pilot first to validate demand, adoption, and integration dependencies. Since root causes and integration costs are not yet proven, this controllable and reversible path is preferable to committing directly to a full in-house build

Human-controlled next action

Launch a time-boxed pilot design that clearly defines the vehicle-owner and dealer representative sample, integration scope, and stop/scale thresholds

What would reverse the recommendation

If the pilot confirms high adoption among vehicle owners and dealers, manageable integration costs, and no service disruption risk, proceed to a full in-house build; otherwise, stop and revert to improving the white-label solution
