Are files, permissions, AI tools, and manual processes helping the business, or quietly creating more hidden work?
Clean up collaboration, make Copilot safe to roll out, and replace manual processes.
Data, Copilot & Automation
Nobody can find the final version of anything, there are more Teams than people, and files shared company-wide years ago are still open. Copilot is licensed or about to be, and it will surface whatever the permissions allow. Meanwhile approvals and handoffs still run on emailed spreadsheets that break when one person is away.
What gets delivered
The collaboration estate is cleaned up and guarded, Copilot is piloted against corrected permissions rather than hoped-for ones, and the manual processes that cost the most hours are rebuilt as owned, documented workflows.
What made you look today?
Common reasons this becomes urgent
A Copilot purchase or expansion is planned and nobody can say what it would surface
Priority oversharing is fixed, guardrails are configured, a pilot completes with real users, and adoption and exceptions are recorded.
Teams, SharePoint and files grew without structure and search finds three versions of everything
Bounded workspaces are reorganized, permissions corrected, owners assigned, and obsolete spaces archived so the clutter does not rebuild.
One process still runs through email and spreadsheets
One production workflow is built with inputs, approvals, notifications, exceptions, an owner, and a runbook the team can maintain.
How the work runs
The sprawl, permissions, manual routines and Copilot exposure are mapped, and the target structure and guardrails are agreed as a fixed scope. Then: Priority exposure is corrected, workspaces are reorganized or archived, guardrails are configured, the pilot runs, and each built workflow is handed over with a runbook.
Where this is priced
Each engagement below carries its own fixed scope. The price is agreed before any work begins, and the fixed proposal contains the delivery calendar and the completion date.
Implementation engagements
Bounded production work with a completion test.
Copilot Permission Remediation & Pilot
Oversharing is corrected across the agreed scope, access guardrails are configured, a pilot group runs real work through Copilot, and the go, defer or expand decision is made from that pilot’s evidence.
SharePoint & Teams Cleanup
The agreed sites and Teams are reorganized into a structure that holds, permissions are corrected, lifecycle rules are applied, a content owner is named for each area, and the result is tested with real users.
One Workflow Automation Build
One production workflow is live end to end — approval rules, exception paths, audit history and failure alerts — tested with real cases and handed to a named owner who can maintain it.
Decision work
The paid outcome is a decision. No production settings are changed.
Copilot Readiness and Business Case
Use cases and buyer groups, license and operating assumptions, priority exposure findings, a pilot recommendation, remediation prerequisites, and a go or no-go decision record.
No production settings are changed. Implementation is quoted separately.
Files, Teams & Workflow Cleanup Plan
The sprawl is mapped, the manual routines are costed in hours, and the target structure is designed with a fixed implementation scope.
No production settings are changed. Implementation is quoted separately.
Also delivered in this area, as custom projects
Work in this list is deliberately not packaged: the scope varies too much for one honest price. The route, the risks, the completion test and the fixed price are agreed before anything begins.

The finished state
What is true when it is done
The final version of a document is one search away, Copilot surfaces only what each person was entitled to see, and the processes that ran on email now run themselves with a named owner.
What you keep
Everything below is yours to keep whatever happens next, including handing it to your own team or another vendor.
- The permission corrections, documented before and after
- The workspace register with keep, merge or archive decisions
- The Copilot pilot results, adoption record and exception list
- Each built workflow with its runbook and owner
- The guardrail configuration, documented

What moves the price
The fee is set by what is actually in the environment; headcount is only one of the inputs.
- Number of SharePoint sites and Teams in scope
- Volume of oversharing to unwind
- Number and complexity of workflows to build
- Size of the Copilot pilot population
- Whether labelling and data controls are configured as part of the work
