Three things AI should do for you, once it's safe.
Every build depends on the set-up having been done: the oversharing fixed, the policy written, every account locked properly. If it only looks good in a demo, I won't build it.
Why builds come second.
This is the part of AI I love: small, boring jobs that just disappear. But an assistant that reads your documents will happily read the salary file someone shared with everyone in 2019. So the builds are for firms on the AI Guardrails plan, after the set-up month, one at a time.
A fixed price
Agreed in writing before the build starts.
A measured gate
Half is paid on signing and half at the gate, when the result is measured.
A date to look again
When we look at whether it earned its keep.
Copilot Rollout
I switch Copilot on for the people who'll actually use it, teach them on their real work, and after sixty days tell you who needs a licence and who doesn't.
From $3,250. HST extra.
Six to ten weeks including the day-60 review. Half on signing, half at the day-60 review.
The guarantee, in full. Anything that stops working in the first 30 days after go-live is fixed at no charge.
The guarantee, in full. If fewer than half the pilot seats use Copilot weekly by day 60, I run a second training round and the licence right-sizing at no charge.
Seats for the right people
Copilot switched on for the pilot group the Check named, not for everyone at once.
Two training sessions on your real work
An hour each, on the jobs your people actually do, recorded so anyone who misses one can catch up.
A prompt sheet
For your firm's three commonest tasks, written in your firm's words.
A right-sizing decision at day 60
After usage reviews at day 30 and day 60, in writing: who keeps a seat, who moves to pay-as-you-go, who never used it.
Ask Our Documents
Your team asks a question in Teams and gets the answer from your own documents, with a link, and only from files they're allowed to see.
From $4,000, plus $250 a month care on the plan invoice. HST extra.
Three to five weeks to the pilot, then the 30-day pilot. Half on signing, half at the day-30 pilot gate.
The guarantee, in full. Built for one team first. If that team hasn't used it in its first 30 days, you don't pay the second half.
An assistant in Teams
"What's our policy on…", "find the engagement letter for…", "what did we quote last time…", answered from the libraries you choose, with a link to the source.
Only what each person may see
It answers from files the person asking is already allowed to open, and nothing else. That's why it needs the set-up first.
A 30-day pilot with one team
With a log of how good the answers were, so the decision to keep it is based on what happened.
A source list you own
The libraries it reads, written down, changed only when you say so.
One Workflow
Pick one chore your office does every week. I automate it, measure the hours it gives back, and keep it running.
From $3,750, plus $200 a month care on the plan invoice. HST extra.
Two to four weeks. Half on signing, half at the day-60 measurement.
One weekly chore, automated end to end
For example: an intake email read, its details pulled out, a record created and someone told. Or documents sorted and filed. Or first-draft replies waiting for review.
A person approves what matters
Anything that goes to a client or touches money waits for a person to approve it.
Measured, before and after
The hours the job takes now, measured before go-live, and measured again at day 60, written into the scope.
An off switch
Failure alerts come to me, and a one-page runbook shows anyone how to turn it off. It runs in your Microsoft 365, never on my servers.
Prices, and what I don't build.
The exact price for your firm size is confirmed at the free call and fixed in writing before any work starts.
What I don't build
Public chatbots on your website, automation hosted on my servers, or "automate everything" projects.
One build at a time
Inside your Microsoft 365, with a person in the loop.
Before any build
AI Guardrails comes first. Every price side by side: Pricing.
Guides, in plain English.
Short answers to the questions owners ask first. No email asked. All guides
What can Copilot see in your SharePoint?
Exactly what each person can already open. The trouble is that nobody's checked what that is for years.
What to write when your insurer asks about AI.
Write down what's true, keep the proof, and don't tick a box you can't show. Here's how.
Four Copilot seats, not twenty.
Start with the people whose day is mostly writing, reading and finding things. Then let the usage report decide.
Questions owners ask.
Yours isn't here? Email me and you get a written answer by the next business day.
Can you build us an AI tool first, and skip the plan?
No. Every build I do depends on the set-up having been done: the oversharing fixed, the policy written, the right accounts protected. Builds are for plan clients, one at a time. If it only looks good in a demo, I won't build it.
Do you sell Microsoft licences?
Yes. Accipa resells Microsoft licences, and Microsoft pays resellers a margin, about 10–15% [Estimate]. I'll tell you that up front. I'll also still tell you to buy four seats, not twenty: the licence check is in your monthly report, and the day-60 right-sizing on every Copilot rollout is in writing. If you'd rather buy from Microsoft directly, the price is the same and the advice doesn't change.
Where does our data go?
Everything runs in your own Microsoft 365; I host nothing. Copilot stores your data in Canada and processes it elsewhere until Microsoft's announced 2027 date, and some models inside Copilot are on by default. I write that down as a decision you make, in plain English, not a promise I can't keep.
Start with 20 minutes.
