Copilot will answer any question your permissions allow.
Copilot works from the permissions and files your business already has. A readiness check tells you what it will draw on — and who should get a seat first — before you commit to licenses.
Copilot doesn't create new access. It uses the access your business already has, at conversational speed.
Most businesses carry years of sharing decisions nobody remembers making. A folder opened up for a project in 2021. A spreadsheet shared with "everyone" because permissions were confusing that day. None of it mattered much while finding anything required a person to go looking. Copilot goes looking, and its answers draw on everything a user can reach — so accurate permissions become accurate answers. The readiness work is making sure the two match.
Turning Copilot on is the easy part; anyone can assign a license in an afternoon. Confirming the environment is ready for it is the step that usually gets skipped.
Who can see what. An audit of sharing and permissions, not a guess.
Where sensitive files live, confirmed rather than assumed.
Stale and duplicate content that would feed wrong answers to reasonable questions.
The licensing math. Copilot runs $30 per user per month on an annual commitment. Choosing who gets a seat is a decision, not a checkbox.
This is the same ground our Operational Assessment covers — Copilot simply makes it worth confirming now.
The readiness check is built into our fixed-fee Operational Assessment. You get findings, seat recommendations, and a clear answer: go, or not yet.
We fix what the check found. Permissions, sharing, stale content. Scoped and quoted from the findings, so you're never buying work you don't need.
License purchase, a pilot group, and a 30-day review of what people actually used. Then you decide whether to add seats or stop where you are.
Do we need Copilot for everyone?
Probably not on day one. Most businesses do better running a handful of pilot seats before licensing everyone — thirty days of real usage data makes the expansion decision for you.
Can't our IT company just turn it on?
They can — enabling Copilot is straightforward. The readiness check covers what enabling doesn't: whether permissions and content are in shape, and which seats will actually earn their cost.
What if the check says we're not ready?
Then you'll have a prioritized list of what to fix and a written quote for the work. In most cases it's ordinary cleanup — permissions, sharing, stale content — not a major project.
