## Delivery Model: Human + AI Lanes

Sunflower Lab uses a delivery methodology called "The Loop" where senior human engineers own every decision, deadline, and outcome, and AI runs alongside them accelerating drafts, checks, and rework. The six lifecycle stages are:

1. Ideate — Discovery & Strategy. Humans define goals, success metrics, stakeholder requirements. AI accelerates project plan creation, user story creation, feature estimation.
2. Design — UX & Architecture. Humans make UX decisions, brand alignment, system architecture choices. AI produces rapid wireframe drafts, component suggestions, architectural documentation.
3. Build — Engineering & Development. Humans own code review, logic, integration decisions. AI produces code scaffolding, refactoring suggestions, technical documentation.
4. Test — QA & Validation. Humans own edge case judgment, user acceptance testing, sign-off. AI generates test cases, API testing, end-to-end testing.
5. Ship — Deployment & Launch. Humans handle release approval and stakeholder communication. AI runs CI/CD pipeline automation, deployment checks.
6. Evolve — Monitor & Improve. Humans handle strategic roadmap and product iteration. AI handles impact analysis, performance alerts, threat detection.

## Frequently Asked Questions About SharePoint Consulting

### What is SharePoint consulting?

SharePoint consulting is the professional service of designing, implementing, governing, migrating, and integrating Microsoft SharePoint so it fits how a business operates. It typically includes information architecture, permission model, content migration, Power Automate workflows, and Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness. At Sunflower Lab, engagements are led by senior Microsoft engineers.

### How much does SharePoint consulting cost at Sunflower Lab?

At Sunflower Lab:

- SharePoint Health Check: $5,000 to $10,000 fixed.
- Focused SharePoint Build (migration, governance, workflow, or intranet): $15,000 to $40,000.
- SharePoint plus Power Platform Program (multi-workload): $40,000 to $120,000 or more.
- Managed Support: monthly retainer, scoped to tenant size.

Every engagement begins with a free 30-minute assessment. Book at https://thesunflowerlab.com/sharepoint-consulting-services/#book.

### How long does a SharePoint migration take?

Most mid-market SharePoint migrations from file shares or legacy SharePoint into SharePoint Online run 4 to 10 weeks end to end, depending on data volume, number of permission groups, and content restructuring. The Assessment includes a realistic timeline before any commitment.

### What is the difference between SharePoint Online and SharePoint on-premises?

SharePoint Online is the Microsoft 365 cloud version, patched and scaled by Microsoft, integrated with Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Power Platform, and Copilot. SharePoint Server (on-premises) runs in a customer data center and requires the customer to handle infrastructure, patching, and security. Most enterprises now run SharePoint Online or a hybrid deployment.

### Do I need a Microsoft Solutions Partner for SharePoint?

You do not need a Microsoft Solutions Partner to use SharePoint. You do want one when SharePoint underpins Microsoft 365 Copilot, governed document management, or workflow automation touching sensitive content. The Microsoft Solutions Partner designation means Microsoft has audited the firm on real delivery. Sunflower Lab is a listed Microsoft Solutions Partner.

### Can SharePoint replace an intranet, file shares, and a document management system?

Yes. For most mid-market organizations, SharePoint Online combined with Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Power Automate replaces separate intranet platforms, file shares, and document management systems, provided the tenant is architected with proper governance and metadata. Sunflower Lab has built this consolidation pattern for Dominion Engineering and other clients.

### What is the role of Microsoft 365 Copilot in SharePoint?

Microsoft 365 Copilot uses SharePoint as its top grounding source. If a tenant has stale content, oversharing, or missing metadata, Copilot returns confidently wrong answers. SharePoint readiness is Copilot readiness. Sunflower Lab's SharePoint Health Check includes a Copilot grounding review.

### How does Sunflower Lab secure SharePoint permissions at scale?

Sunflower Lab uses a layered permission model: hub-and-spoke site architecture, sensitivity labels, sharing policies, scheduled access reviews, and oversharing detection. For tenants with significant permission drift, a dedicated cleanup engagement is run before Copilot rollout.

### Does SharePoint integrate with Dynamics 365, Power BI, and Microsoft Teams?

Yes, natively. SharePoint integrates with Dynamics 365, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Outlook. The Dominion Engineering case study is a working example connecting SharePoint lists, Dynamics 365 receipts, OneDrive, QuickBase, and Microsoft Teams notifications via Power Automate.

### What is a SharePoint Health Check?

A SharePoint Health Check is a 1 to 2 week structured review of a Microsoft 365 tenant covering architecture, permissions, governance, integrations, content sprawl, AI readiness, and license utilization. It ends with a written roadmap, prioritized backlog, and investment range. It is sold as a fixed-fee engagement at $5,000 to $10,000.

Sunflower Lab has two US offices:

- 3974 Brown Park Drive, Suite G, Hilliard, Ohio 43026
