Keeping a Pilot from Becoming Permanent by Default

zhè这gè个gòngxiǎng共享bàngōng办公shìdiǎn试点zhǐ只pīzhǔn批准le了sān三gè个yuè月，dàn但dàjiā大家yǐjīng已经zài在tǎolùn讨论chángqī长期kuòzhāng扩张le了。

This shared-office pilot was approved for only three months, but people are already discussing long-term expansion.

shìdiǎn试点yīdàn一旦tóurù投入rénlì人力hé和yùsuàn预算，jiù就róngyì容易chǎnshēng产生guànxìng惯性。suǒwèi所谓“zànshí暂时”，rúguǒ如果méiyou没有tuìchū退出tiáojiàn条件，wǎngwǎng往往zhǐshì只是shuōfa说法。

Once staff and funding are committed, a pilot can develop momentum. Without exit conditions, “temporary” is often just a label.

kě可rúguǒ如果xiànzài现在qiángdiào强调tuìchū退出，cānyù参与zhě者kěnéng可能juéde觉得xiàngmù项目quēfá缺乏xìnxīn信心，bù不yuàn愿tóurù投入。

But emphasizing an exit now may make participants think we lack confidence in the project and discourage their involvement.

tuìchū退出jīzhì机制bìng并bù不děngyú等于yù预shè设shībài失败。tā它ràng让dàjiā大家zhīdao知道，jìxù继续yǔfǒu与否qǔjuéyú取决于shénme什么，ér而bù不shì是qǔjuéyú取决于shéi谁yǐjīng已经fùchū付出le了duōshao多少。

An exit mechanism does not presume failure. It clarifies what continuation depends on, rather than letting past contributions dictate the decision.

nà那pínggū评估zhǐbiāo指标chúle除了shǐyòng使用lǜ率，hái还yīng应bāokuò包括wéihù维护chéngběn成本hé和duì对yuányǒu原有gōnggòng公共kōngjiān空间de的yǐngxiǎng影响。

Then our evaluation should include maintenance costs and effects on existing public space, as well as usage rates.

hái还yào要qūfēn区分shìdiǎn试点qījiān期间de的yōuhuì优惠xīyǐn吸引lì力hé和zhèngcháng正常tiáojiàn条件xià下de的zhēnshí真实xūqiú需求，fǒuzé否则shùjù数据kěnéng可能guòyú过于lèguān乐观。

We also need to distinguish demand driven by pilot discounts from demand under normal conditions, or the figures may be overly optimistic.

wǒ我jiànyì建议dàoqī到期qián前gōngbù公布pínggū评估jiēguǒ结果，xù续qī期bìxū必须chóngxīn重新juédìng决定，ér而bù不shì是méiyou没有fǎnduì反对jiù就zìdòng自动yáncháng延长。

I suggest publishing the evaluation before the pilot ends and requiring a new decision for renewal, rather than extending it automatically if nobody objects.

kěyǐ可以，tóngshí同时míngquè明确shéi谁fùzé负责tíchū提出xù续qī期lǐyóu理由，shéi谁fùzé负责hé核chá查yījù依据，bìmiǎn避免zhíxíng执行zhě者jì既dāng当yùndòngyuán运动员yòu又dāng当cáipàn裁判。

Agreed. We should specify who makes the case for renewal and who reviews the evidence, so the implementers are not also their own judges.
