🔧 Workflow

Execute weekly on a per-order basis: clients export document and course packages from Confluence, SharePoint, and legacy LMS. Use scripts for batch format conversion, then employ Claude or GPT for deduplication, tagging, and segmenting knowledge blocks by role and department, rewriting key policies into Q&A pairs and micro-lesson structures. Next, manually spot-check batches for factual accuracy and corresponding permission hierarchies. Import qualified parts into Sana or similar platforms using templates, and finally run a set of standard retrieval test questions. Output a migration report, retrieval accuracy test table, and subsequent maintenance recommendations. The client signs off on the acceptance checklist to close the project. AI handles the heavy lifting throughout, while humans act as the arbiters.

🛠 Setup Requirements

No model training or deployment is required; the core capability is proficiently using large model APIs with scripts for batch document processing, alongside understanding the permission logic of enterprise knowledge management. First, visit the Sana official website and Workday ecosystem pages to figure out the platform's data import formats, knowledge graph concepts, and permission systems. Then, build your own test knowledge base to run through the entire process, including import, Q&A, and accuracy testing—taking about two weeks to get up to speed. Prepare a standard NDA template and data processing statement, which are the baseline entry requirements for taking on enterprise clients. Python scripts and large model APIs are sufficient to cover 90% of scenarios in the tech stack.

🧰 Toolchain

🔧 Claude or GPT API for document cleaning and rewriting
🔧 Python scripts for batch format conversion
🔧 Sana platform or its trial environment
🔧 Notion for delivery project management
🔧 Standard NDA template

💰 Revenue

① Mid-sized enterprise knowledge base migration projects (primary revenue): Enterprise clients pay a one-time service fee per project, ranging from $15,000 to $30,000 × 1 to 2 completed per month = monthly income of $15,000 to $60,000, roughly aligning with similar AI deployment consulting monthly earnings of around $25,000 (case study basis, independently unverified; the exact weight of this line in total revenue is not provided). ② Knowledge base health check subscriptions: Clients pay a monthly recurring subscription fee (monthly fee amount not disclosed, and the number of renewing clients cannot be verified; share not broken down). ③ Migration + annual governance bundled enterprise framework: Benchmarked against Sana's mid-tier annual fee starting at €7,200 enterprise budget scale (based on public platform pricing); own pricing not stated, number of signed contracts unverified, share is blank. ④ Opportunity item - Workday ecosystem migration and governance outsourcing: Workday acquired Sana for $1.1 billion (media-reported estimate, independently unverified), generating subsequent ecosystem client migration and data governance demand. There is currently no data on how much revenue can be captured here.

💸 Cost

Large model APIs cost about 500 to 1,500 RMB per month, depending on the document volume per project; tool subscriptions and test environments cost about 300 RMB. The biggest cost is your own time investment. Overall marginal costs are very low, with gross margins reaching over 80%.

⏱ Time Investment

Approximately 40 to 60 hours per project, spanning two to three weeks. Usually dedicating 10 to 15 hours per week to acquiring content, client communication, and delivery quality spot-checks, allowing two projects to be advanced concurrently in a rolling manner.

🚀 Getting Started

Step one: Read the Sana official website and the Workday acquisition announcement, clearly explaining three concepts: product positioning, knowledge graphs, and permission systems. Then, publish 3 practical breakdown articles on LinkedIn and MaiMai using enterprise knowledge base migration as keywords. Step two: Find training managers at small and medium-sized enterprises currently replacing their learning or knowledge platforms, offer a free knowledge health diagnosis, and produce an issue checklist. Use the diagnostic report to secure the first order, willing to take a lower price to obtain publicly verifiable acceptance data for a case study.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ Bet on the ecosystem migration window period following Workday's acquisition of Sana, where demand surges intensively and the official partner ecosystem is not yet fully saturated.
✅ Deliver based on verifiable outputs such as retrieval accuracy and permission compliance rather than billing by working hours; clients feel safe paying and are more likely to renew.
✅ Humans act as arbiters for facts and permissions, while AI only handles batch cleaning to boost efficiency. Quality control is the moat that differentiates you from low-priced competitors.
✅ Convert the first order into a public case study containing accuracy metrics, creating compound growth as subsequent customer acquisition costs decrease order by order.

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ Window period dividends will wane as Workday's official implementation partner ecosystem matures; case accumulation and upgrading must be completed within two years.
⚠️ Handling internal enterprise confidential documents means NDAs and data compliance responsibilities must be signed and settled upfront; a single data leak means game over.
⚠️ During cross-platform migration, large model rewrites may introduce factual errors. If manual spot-checks before delivery miss them, it will cause a collapse in client trust.

📌 Real Cases

📌 Sana Labs was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 2016 by Joel Hellermark. It completed a $34 million Series B financing round in 2022 and a $55 million Series C financing round in 2024, serving multiple Fortune 500 companies and validating the paying market size for enterprise knowledge and learning AI.
📌 In late 2025, Workday acquired Sana Labs for approximately $1.1 billion, positioning Sana as the enterprise AI user gateway and pairing it with Flowise to build a complete enterprise Agent infrastructure, thereby generating migration and governance demands among ecosystem clients.
📌 Workday officially disclosed that AI has contributed over 25% of its incremental annual contract value, demonstrating that this type of enterprise intelligence layer is scaling up rapidly, and a genuine ability to pay exists in the peripheral migration and governance outsourcing market.
