Is this you

The AI Opportunity Map is for you if any of this sounds like your Tuesday.

✓

We bought Copilot or ChatGPT seats and usage is low.

✓

We ran an AI pilot and nothing shipped.

✓

Three departments each want “an AI thing” and nobody can rank them.

✓

Our data lives in SharePoint, email, and spreadsheets and we’re not sure it’s ready.

✓

Customers want faster answers than our team can give.

✓

Leadership wants an AI plan this quarter and nobody owns it.

88% of organizations now use AI in at least one function. Only 39% see any impact on the bottom line. The gap is prioritization, not tools.

How it works

How we find them: the Unified Use Case Discovery Framework

  1. 01

    Establish

    We set up who to talk to and how, so ideas come from the people doing the work, not the boardroom.

  2. 02

    Discover

    A structured workshop captures every candidate use case across internal operations and customer experience. We also read 90 days of your Microsoft 365 usage — you generate the report; we never read your content.

  3. 03

    Map

    We plot each use case onto your business processes and your customer journey, including the moments after a customer leaves.

  4. 04

    Structure

    Every use case gets the same eight fields: problem, who’s impacted, sample tasks, touchpoints, business benefit, volume, risks, feasibility.

  5. 05

    Prioritize

    Each is scored on Impact, Feasibility, Risk, and Strategic Alignment, then placed on the matrix. Quick wins first; customer-facing work once the muscle is built.

Then we build it. Working automation or agent in 4–6 weeks, on the Microsoft 365 and Power Platform tools you already own, or custom where it earns it.

Built on what you already own
Microsoft 365Copilot StudioPower AutomateSharePointPower BI

Most of your first AI wins don’t need new software. They need the tools you’re already paying for, connected properly.

Data handling

What we see, and what we don’t.

We never read your emails, files, or chats.

Usage reports are generated by you, in your tenant, and shared as summary data.

Workshop notes and the final report belong to you. We delete working copies 30 days after delivery.

After the map

Then we build what the map says to build.

Working software in 4–6 weeks, in your Microsoft tenant, with a named owner on your side. You own everything we build.

Power Automate · SharePoint

Automate a process

Intake, approvals, reporting and hand-offs rebuilt as monitored flows. AI handles the reading and sorting; people handle the decisions.

Copilot Studio

Put an agent on it

An agent inside the workflow, grounded in your own documents and permissions, answering staff or customers in seconds.

Custom · only where it earns it

Build it custom

When the off-the-shelf tool genuinely can’t do it, a small, well-built application that fits the rest of your stack.
