An AI pilot needs a rigorous testing plan to verify its "offline" capabilities, focusing on network boundaries rather than just marketing labels. The proposed plan involves defining clear requirements for prompt and data handling, creating a dependency inventory, and separating installation from normal operation. Testing should utilize synthetic data to observe network traffic and component errors, covering both happy paths and awkward scenarios like parser failures or update issues, with privacy and answer quality assessed independently.
