Who this is for
Operations, support, and HR leaders whose staff answer the same questions from the same documents every day, or spend their time finding the current version of a policy, a procedure, or a past case. The same applies to multi-site businesses where the answer depends on the site.
What makes it urgent
- New staff take months to learn what the experienced ones carry in their heads.
- The same question is asked in the support channel every week.
- Three versions of a procedure exist and nobody knows which is current.
What usually breaks
- Documents are spread across drives, wikis, tickets, and inboxes.
- Search returns everything and answers nothing.
- A general chatbot was tried and invented policies.
Scope and price
What shapes the scope and price.
Every project is priced from a written scope. These are the factors that move it most.
Number and type of sources
Each drive, wiki, ticketing system, or database brings its own connector, permission model, and refresh approach, which scales the indexing work.
Permission complexity
Sources with simple team access are contained, while fine-grained, per-document permissions across several systems need careful mapping and testing.
Condition of the content
Duplicate, outdated, and conflicting documents need an owner’s decision before indexing, since the assistant answers only as well as its approved sources.
Data residency and model choices
Requirements about where content is processed and which model providers may see it shape the hosting, the models available, and the evaluation work.
Multi-site operations team
Site managers ask a question in plain language and see which document the answer comes from.
In a multi-site business, site managers tend to send the same questions to the operations team, and the answer depends on which copy of the manual someone finds. A first release indexes the approved manuals, policies, and site-specific notes in SharePoint or Confluence, with permissions carried through, and gives managers a single place to ask. Every answer shows its source. When nothing matches, the assistant declines and adds the question to a list for the content owner, which becomes a practical writing plan. Answers inside Teams or Slack are a common next phase.
