Overview

AI (ChatGPT, Claude, NotebookLM, Notion AI) accelerates the classification and summarization work of turning scattered company files into a searchable system — the actual differentiation comes from governance and retrieval quality, since a knowledge base nobody maintains or that returns irrelevant results is functionally useless within months. Sold as project plus retainer to SMEs, agencies and startups whose institutional knowledge is currently scattered across drives and Slack.

Why it works

AI accelerates classification and summarization; governance and retrieval quality provide differentiation.

How it makes money

Project + retainer

How to start

  1. Collect the scattered documents — shared drives, wikis, Slack pins — that currently hold institutional knowledge.
  2. Identify the source-of-truth version wherever multiple copies of the same document exist.
  3. Remove duplicates so the migrated base doesn't inherit years of copy-paste drift.
  4. Classify remaining documents by topic and audience using ChatGPT or Claude to accelerate the sort.
  5. Flag stale documents (old pricing, dead processes) for review rather than migrating them silently.
  6. Build the new knowledge base structure in Notion AI or a similar tool.
  7. Add retrieval so staff can actually search and find what they need.
  8. Test with real staff questions to confirm the structure holds up under real use.
  9. Govern it — assign an owner responsible for keeping it current after migration.
  10. Train the team on where things live now and how to search it.
  11. Maintain it under a retainer, since an unmaintained knowledge base decays within months.
