The Kesslernity shelf

Five jobs. Pick the oneyou have been handed.

Everything on this shelf is filed under one of them. One-time purchase, yours to keep, no seats to count and nothing to renew. Real artifacts you ship, not theory you watch.

// WHAT CHANGED IN 2026

Copilot added a metered layer. Deploying it is now a cost and governance problem, not just a licence.

The per-seat licence did not go away. Microsoft added usage-based billing on top of it. Copilot Credits meter the agentic features, Cowork runs background work that consumes them, and most teams still budget Copilot as a flat per-seat line. They learn the real number after the invoice lands. Deploying it well now means forecasting the variable spend and governing the agents before either gets away from you.

$0.01

per Copilot Credit

Metered agent actions add up fast. The math is the difference between a budget you defend and one you explain after the fact.

// WHY THIS, NOT THE ALTERNATIVES

Three other ways to do this. Each one costs you more.

Microsoft's docs

Generic, exhaustive, and unaccountable. They tell you what every button does, not which surface to deploy first or what to govern before you do.

A consultant

You are renting someone else's attention for as long as the engagement runs. The knowledge walks out the door when the invoice clears, and what you keep is a deck and whatever anyone thought to write down.

A generic course

You watch the videos, take no artifact home, and forget it by the pilot. Nothing to ship on Monday.

Buy it once, download it today, and nothing leaves when the invoice clears.

// FOR TRAINERS & RESELLERS

Run our kits as your own paid training.

A Trainer & Reseller licence lets you co-brand a kit, deliver it as paid training, and run unlimited cohorts. You keep the margin; the source credit stays.

Sizes differ. The two $997 licences cover multi-week curricula. The Messy Company is one workshop, licensed the same way for the sessions you sell. None of them let you resell the kit itself.

New

The Messy Company: Facilitator Edition

The smallest way in: one workshop rather than a programme, licensed for the sessions you sell. Unlimited clients and cohorts, co-branded.
