“Battle-tested in production environments.”
That is how Jared Spataro, Microsoft’s CMO for AI at Work, described my free, open-source Copilot prompt library in the AI at Work newsletter, February 2026. He was citing that free repo, not this product. This is the paid work from the same practice, held to the same standard.

The most-bought paid product on the shelf. Read by professionals at Coca-Cola, Deutsche Bahn, Dell, and other Fortune 500 companies.

// WHAT'S IN THE KIT

Six Components, One Deployment

01

M365 Copilot Field Guide

One strategic operating model (Guide 00) plus 27 feature guides covering every Copilot surface, including Work IQ and Microsoft Scout. Role-based reading paths for IT admins, champions, department heads, and individual users. Practitioner annotations, failure tables, and the hard limits the Microsoft docs skip.

28 files, Markdown plus print-ready HTML
02

90-Day Adoption Roadmap

Week-by-week rollout plan across three phases: Foundation (days 1 to 30), Pilot (days 31 to 60), and Rollout (days 61 to 90). Every task has an owner (IT, change manager, department head), a rationale, and a dependency.

Markdown plus print-ready HTML
03

Prompt Audit Worksheet

Five-step worksheet practitioners complete before their first onboarding session. Identifies the two or three tasks where Copilot will save real time this week. Two role versions: individual contributor and manager.

Markdown plus print-ready HTML
04

ROI Conversation Template

The full template for a budget meeting with a skeptical manager or finance team. Current pricing math, break-even table by salary level, real deployment benchmarks, and five objection responses drawn from lived experience.

Markdown plus print-ready HTML
05

Governance Checklist

Pre-deployment checklist covering data classification, DLP, admin controls, what to tell your DPO, EU AI Act readiness, the May 2026 licensing split, and the ongoing governance cadence. References specific admin center paths and compliance deadlines.

Markdown plus print-ready HTML
06

10 Agent Templates plus Deployment Guide

Ten paste-ready Copilot Studio agents covering universal cross-role use cases. Each file carries the instruction block, knowledge source guidance, four to five tested prompts, first-week guidance, and the common mistakes. The deployment guide covers how to publish each agent and the governance checklist to run before going live.

11 files, Markdown plus print-ready HTML

The pricing and ROI figures come from the sourced Copilot agent cost model behind the Kit.

// WHO IT'S FOR

Built for the People Doing the Work

IT Admin

You are configuring the tenant, managing DLP, and need the technical checklist before the pilot goes live.

Copilot Champion

You are running adoption for your org or department and need the rollout plan, prompt templates, and onboarding materials.

Change Manager

You are managing the people side: workshops, onboarding sessions, and measuring whether anyone actually uses it.

Department Head

You are making the business case and running a pilot. You need the ROI template and a rollout plan you can hand to IT.

Who it is not for

  • End users looking for prompts. This is deployment work, not a prompt library, and the prompt library is free on GitHub.
  • Organisations that have not bought Copilot licences yet. Start with the free Day-0 Readiness Gate instead.

// FAQ

Questions people actually ask

The field guides are free on this site. What am I actually paying for?

The sequence. The free guides tell you what each Copilot surface does; they do not tell you which week to touch it, who signs off, what breaks if you skip the DLP step, or how to answer finance. The Kit is the rollout system those guides slot into, plus the artifacts you would otherwise write yourself: the roadmap, the governance checklist, the ROI model, and the agent templates. Read the guides free for as long as you like. Buy the Kit when you have to actually run the thing.

Does this work if we are on E3 rather than E5?

Yes. M365 Copilot is a paid add-on that sits on top of a qualifying M365 licence, so the licence tier underneath changes what data Copilot can reach, not whether this material applies. Where an E5-only control is the cleanest answer to something, the material says so and gives the E3 route as well.

Is this current for the June 2026 GA wave?

Yes. Cowork went generally available worldwide on 16 June 2026 and brought a metered layer billed in Copilot Credits at $0.01 each. Everything here is written against that change rather than around it. Updates are included, so when the next wave lands you get the revision at no extra cost.

What if we have not enabled Cowork yet?

That is the common case and it is fine. The metered layer is additive and off by default until an admin enables it, so your bill today is still flat seats. Reading this before you switch it on is the cheaper order to do it in, because the decisions get harder to reverse once makers start building.

We already have a Microsoft FastTrack engagement. Does this duplicate it?

It overlaps least where it matters most. FastTrack is strong on enablement and weak on the governance and cost decisions you own, because those are your calls to make and not Microsoft's to make for you. This is written from the practitioner side of that line.

How many seats does the $97 cover?

One. If you need it for a team, email mathieu@kesslernity.com with the headcount and I will quote it and raise a single invoice, with a bank transfer option if procurement prefers that to a card.

Is there a way to try before buying?

Two. The 27 field guides are free to read on this site with no account, and the Day-0 Readiness Gate is a free download that runs the same pre-flight logic the Kit expands on. If neither is useful to you, the Kit will not be either.

Buying this with a company card?

Most buyers expense it. Your receipt email carries a Generate link that opens an invoice generator: add your billing address, put your legal company name and any reference your finance team needs in the Additional notes box, and download the PDF. If you have an EU VAT number, enter it at checkout and no VAT is charged. Here is the approval email, so you do not have to write one.

Subject: Approval request: M365 Copilot Deployment Kit ($97, one-time)

Hi [Manager],

I would like to expense a one-time $97 purchase: M365 Copilot Deployment Kit by Kesslernity.
