The product

Key screens: Stakeholder map, message calendar, approval workflow. Use a project list and editorial calendar beside a document editor. Keep original material and supporting passages in a collapsible side panel. Show outline, draft, review and approved stages. Provide tracked edits, comments, version comparisons and an export preview that reflects the final delivery format. In this product, the first view is stakeholder map, followed by message calendar and approval workflow.

Core functionality

1. Map affected roles.
2. Explain practical changes.
3. Draft manager FAQs.
4. Schedule messages.
5. Collect unanswered questions.
6. Update approved guidance.

Customer workflow

Collect a structured brief and source material, identify unanswered questions, approve an outline, generate a draft, verify claims, gather reviewer edits, approve a final version and export the agreed formats. Start with approved change plan and stakeholder needs and finish with approved change communication package.

AI and human review

Extract and organize information, propose structure, draft prose and adapt approved content to audiences. Attach evidence to factual claims. Keep names, dates, amounts and quoted wording linked to their source. Editors resolve ambiguity and approve publication.

Approved change communication package

Accounts and administration

Client workspaces, source permissions, editorial assignments, change history, reviewer comments, approval gates, revision allowances and export templates.

MVP scope

Begin with change managers rolling out new business processes and one recurring use case. Build the first two modules: map affected roles; explain practical changes. Provide operator assistance for the third module: draft manager FAQs. Deliver approved change communication package through a manual review queue. Perform other necessary full-scope functions manually during the pilot. Include all applicable access, accuracy and professional-review controls from the start.

After the MVP is validated

After paid pilots establish value, automate the remaining modules: schedule messages; collect unanswered questions; update approved guidance. Add one validated source integration, reusable customer configuration and recurring delivery. Expand to additional teams, document formats or languages only after testing the new scope.

Build dependencies

Document parsing, a source-linked editor, tracked revisions, reviewer workflow and reliable document export. Rich presentation or print output needs format-specific QA.

Integrations and data access

Team updates, calendars, project records and agreed management routines. Document storage, word processor export, content management systems and approved publishing channels. Pilot with uploads and downloadable drafts before adding write integrations. These are candidate integration categories, not verified supported connectors.

Defensibility

Customer-approved terminology, reusable structures, source libraries and editorial feedback tied to a specific audience and recurring publishing workflow. For this idea, build around role-specific instructions linked to rollout milestones. This advantage requires execution and accumulated customer trust; the base model alone is not a defensible asset.

Alternatives and positioning

Writers, editors, agencies, internal document templates and general-purpose chat tools. Differentiate on this specific proposed advantage: role-specific instructions linked to rollout milestones. Test it against the buyer's current method on the same task. Competitor coverage and uniqueness have not been established.

Revenue model and test pricing

Test USD 400-1,500 for a tightly scoped initial content package. Convert repeated work to a monthly retainer with explicit deliverable and revision limits. Specialist review and substantial research are separately scoped. Prices are hypotheses.

Main delivery costs

Research and interview time, transcription, model usage, factual verification, subject-matter review, editing and revisions.

A role-by-role rollout communication plan

The first 30 days of marketing

1. Week 1: interview five prospective buyers in this segment: change managers rolling out new business processes. Ask to see a recent example of the problem and their current process.
2. Week 2: prepare this demonstration using authorized or synthetic material: a role-by-role rollout communication plan.
3. Week 3: present it through change management consultants and seek one narrowly scoped paid pilot.
4. Week 4: review employee comprehension, unresolved questions, total delivery effort and a concrete renewal decision before increasing scope.

Paid pilot and validation

Complete one existing brief using the customer’s actual sources. Record reviewer edits, factual corrections and preparation time. Ask the same buyer to commission a second comparable deliverable. For this idea, use approved change plan and stakeholder needs and evaluate approved change communication package. Agree success thresholds with the buyer before starting; collect a baseline for employee comprehension, unresolved questions. A positive signal is payment and repeat use with acceptable quality and delivery cost, not a favorable demo reaction alone.

Success metrics

Employee comprehension, unresolved questions

Retention and expansion

Maintain the approved source and voice library, schedule recurring editorial work, and expand into additional formats only after the core deliverable is repeatedly accepted.

Operating controls and limitations

Confirm owners, decisions and commitments. Keep employee discussion notes access-controlled and avoid covert individual performance inference. Validate source access and reviewer availability during the pilot. Maintain customer-level access, data deletion controls and a record of final approvals.

Investment indication

What it would take to build, from a first MVP to the full product. A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. Running costs (model usage, hosting, reviewer hours) come on top.
