Complete newbie here - where to start with a PoC for my team?

Hey everyone. My team is looking at Appgate SDP for a potential zero-trust network replacement. I'm tasked with setting up a proof of concept, but the admin console has a lot of moving parts.

As someone who usually automates everything, I'm wondering: what's the fastest path to a usable PoC? Should I focus on the gateway setup first, or get the client configuration working for a few test users? I'm also curious about integrating it with our existing CI/CD pipeline for automated testing of access policies.

Any gotchas or a recommended order of operations would be a huge help. Want to demonstrate core ZT principles without getting bogged down in every advanced feature just yet.
