01 / THE OPPORTUNITY
Who buys—and why now
Ideal buyer
Teams whose operational knowledge is spread across drives, inboxes, chat threads, old documents, and individual employees.
Why this edge exists
AI search is only as useful as the underlying information. Inventorying content, resolving contradictions, assigning owners, defining permissions, and creating a maintenance rhythm provides value before any chatbot is added.
Notion’s guidance centers on making work content easier to find and maintaining a central source. Its templates emphasize processes, FAQs, vendors, and brand information—concrete starting points for this service.
02 / THE OFFER
Sell a result, not “AI”
A foundation sprint: inventory one department, design the architecture, standardize priority content, add ownership and review dates, then test retrieval with real employee questions.
Core deliverables
- Content inventory and dispositions
- Navigation and permissions map
- SOP, policy, FAQ, and decision templates
- Migrated priority documents
- Search test and maintenance playbook
03 / LAUNCH PLAN
Your first five moves
- 01
Start with one team
Support, sales operations, field service, or onboarding is more measurable than an entire-company migration.
- 02
Interview the people doing the work
Collect recurring questions, workarounds, risky ambiguities, and the documents employees actually trust.
- 03
Design governance first
Define who can view, edit, approve, archive, and review each content class.
- 04
Normalize priority content
Use consistent purpose, audience, steps, owner, review date, systems, and escalation path.
- 05
Test real questions
Measure answer success, time, stale results, permission leaks, and gaps before adding complexity.
04 / ECONOMICS
How to package it
Quote by department, document volume, cleanup, permissions, migrations, and training. Separate foundation work from ongoing governance or AI search.
Reality check: Income depends on skill, positioning, demand, sales, scope, and delivery. Test with a paid pilot; do not advertise guaranteed earnings.
05 / SCOREBOARD
Measure value from day one
- Answer success rate
- Time to find answers
