Client Knowledge Base Consolidation Sprint (10-14 days)
A fixed-scope engagement that migrates a client's scattered documentation into one governed knowledge platform, then wires it into the tools account teams already use. Built for agencies whose delivery quality depends on every strategist finding the same answer.
- Executive sponsor on the client side with authority to retire legacy wikis and shared drives; read access to the current documentation sources (drive folders, chat channels, ticket history); a named content owner per department who can approve or reject migrated pages; agreement on the single platform that will hold the source of truth; a baseline count of repeated internal questions logged over the prior 30 days.
- 1.Inventory every documentation location and record page counts, last-edited dates, and owners
- 2.Interview three to five staff about where they actually look for answers
- 3.Log the ten most repeated questions from the prior month
- 1.Score each source by traffic, staleness, and overlap with other sources
- 2.Flag duplicate and orphaned content for retirement
- 3.Confirm the migration order with the client sponsor
- 1.Configure the chosen platform's workspace structure, permissions, and naming conventions
- 2.Set up the topic or collection taxonomy that mirrors how the client's teams work
- 3.Connect the platform to chat and project tools so search reaches beyond the wiki
- 1.Migrate the highest-traffic content first and verify formatting survives the move
- 2.Assign an owner and review date to every migrated page
- 3.Retire the first batch of duplicate pages from the legacy source
- 1.Migrate remaining priority content and resolve broken links
- 2.Draft the top twenty answers to the repeated questions logged on day one
- 3.Route drafts to department owners for approval
- 1.Build the onboarding path: a single starting page that sequences the first-week reading list
- 2.Add client-specific sections for brand rules, delivery checklists, and escalation contacts
- 3.Test search results against the ten most repeated questions
- 1.Run a 45-minute live training for the account and delivery teams
- 2.Record a short walkthrough for future hires
- 3.Collect friction reports from the session and log fixes
- 1.Fix the issues raised in training and re-test search coverage
- 2.Set up a weekly staleness review so pages past their review date surface to owners
- 3.Publish the governance rules: who edits, who approves, how disputes get resolved
- 1.Measure time-to-answer on the ten repeated questions before and after
- 2.Document the before-and-after onboarding reading time
- 3.Prepare the handover pack with admin credentials and escalation paths
- 1.Present results to the client sponsor with the measured deltas
- 2.Agree the 30-day check-in date and the metrics to review
- 3.Hand over ownership and close the engagement
Agencies can charge a fixed fee here because the deliverable is measurable: fewer repeated questions, faster onboarding, and one searchable source of truth instead of five. The margin holds because the work is process-heavy rather than tool-heavy, so a two-person team can run it without senior strategist time. Renewal revenue comes from the quarterly staleness review, which is a natural add-on to an existing retainer.
- A migrated and governed knowledge base with owners and review dates on every page
- A one-page onboarding path that new hires and new account staff follow in week one
- A governance document covering edit rights, approval flow, and retirement rules
- A before-and-after measurement sheet for time-to-answer and onboarding reading time
- A recorded walkthrough plus admin handover pack
The client's ten most repeated internal questions are answered by a search in the new platform in under 30 seconds, and every migrated page has a named owner and a scheduled review date.
