01
The opportunity

M247 adopted AI faster than the system around it was designed. That's an operating-system problem, not a technology problem — and it's exactly what we fix.

Situation

Settings differ per person. No shared templates, prompts, or voice. Informal security. Meeting notes still done by hand.

Proposal

A 3–4 month retainer to stand up a standardized, secure, on-brand AI foundation, automate the notes pipeline, and set the roadmap.

Outcome

One on-brand experience, automated work with a human in the loop, safe data, a trained team — no full-time hire.

02
The engagement

Senior AI-operations leadership on retainer — strategy and hands-on build, on your Gameplan7 method.

Term
3–4 mo

Foundational build, then an optional lighter governance retainer.

Cadence
Weekly

Working sessions with you & the engineers, async delivery between.

Model
IaaS

AI Infrastructure-as-a-Service — the outcome, without the headcount.

Three workstreams, on the 7 Pillars

Starter 1

AI Environment Foundation

Standardize & secure ChatGPT, Claude & Copilot.

Starter 2

Copilot → Automation

Automate the meeting-notes pipeline end-to-end.

What gets built first

The two starters deliver value in the first weeks.

Workstream 1 · Foundation

One AI experience — on-brand & secure

Review the current ChatGPT, Claude & Copilot setup; turn it into a standardized, governed foundation so everyone gets the same experience and uses the same templates, prompts and voice.

AI Environment Audit — tools, licenses, current settings, gaps & risks.
Global settings in each environment — one baseline so everyone gets the same experience.
Brand & Voice Kit — company info, logo, templates, fonts, formats, styling, language & M247's own voice.
Prompt & Template Library — shared, versioned, used by everyone.
Team workspace configuration — spaces by division/function, naming & folder structure.
Data security & retention — confidentiality tiers, training/memory controls, retention, acceptable use.
Engineer project-folder access — least-privilege (people see only what they need), onboarding/offboarding.
"What you're overlooking" review — the gaps most teams miss, so the foundation is solid.
Workstream 2 · Automation

Copilot → template, automated

Replace the manual copy-paste-and-check with a workflow that keeps one human approval where it matters.

Automated with Power Automate + Microsoft Graph and/or an AI assistant via API. One review-and-approve step stays — checking the template applied correctly and that notes & action items make sense before anything is saved. Includes a clear tooling recommendation — keep Copilot for transcripts, switch to Claude/ChatGPT, or combine them — decided on M247's real M365 setup, cost and template fidelity.

Long-term engagement

3.1 · Architecture

Best practices & tool choices

How to set these tools up — and whether to add others — judged on security, confidentiality, reliability, checking the output is right, and controlling who can sign in and access what. A clear reference setup plus a simple checklist for choosing tools.

3.2 · Internal & External

Two AI arenas

Internal: HR, Sales, Finance, Ops, QA, Marketing/PR — build our own vs. integrate. External: customer-facing — gather → parse → analyze → validate → format → report.

3.3 · Training

Enablement for the team

Role-based AI training for you (leadership/strategy), your AI-assistant workflows, and the engineers — prompting, verification discipline, security hygiene, day-to-day mastery.

04
How it runs

Your five stages — Discover → Design → Build → Secure → Optimize.

1
Weeks 1–2 · Discover
Map environment, workflows & goals

Audit; document the notes pipeline; confirm the transcript-tool decision.

2
Weeks 2–4 · Design
Operating model & automation map

Brand & Voice Kit, global-config plan, access model, notes blueprint.

3
Weeks 4–9 · Build
Stand it up

Global settings live; prompt/template library shipped; automated notes flow built & tested.

4
Weeks 8–11 · Secure
Governance & access

Retention & acceptable-use rules, confidentiality levels, least-privilege access (people see only what they should), activity logging, reference setup.

5
Weeks 10–14 · Optimize
Train, review, evolve

Team training, internal/external roadmap, handoff to a lighter retainer.

05
Investment

Priced on value, anchored to 2026 benchmarks — a fraction of a full-time hire or a big-firm project.

After the 3 months → Advisory retainer, $2,500/mo. The ongoing process: strategy & direction, drift monitoring, policy updates, quarterly reviews, and keeping the operating system current as models and tools change.

Recommended engagement value: $4,500 × 3–4 months = $13,500–$18,000 to stand up the full AI operating system — versus $60K–$90K for a comparable big-firm project, or a $200K+/yr hire.

Why Gameplan7
Enterprise infrastructure pedigree

Served on the infrastructure task force at Disney — enterprise-scale rigor, brought to M247's size and speed.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service, for AI

An ongoing consulting retainer with clear deliverables — the continuity of a service without a one-and-done project drop-off. Expertise on tap, not an operations contract.

Secure by design

Access control, confidentiality, and data-retention rules built in from day one — useful, never reckless.
