View all 5 modules
  1. Module 01

    Workflow Design and Operating Procedures

    Inventory the workflows that actually run the business, classify every step as assistable preparation, human judgment, or a decision software never makes, and write procedures that open with their hard stops.

  2. Module 02

    Customer Service and Quoting Pipelines

    Design assisted intake for the shared inbox and the phone, quoting pipelines that draw only from your own rate sheets, and escalation paths with named triggers that take work out of the procedure before it becomes a dispute.

  3. Module 03

    Knowledge Bases and Retrieval

    Assemble the documents an assistant may answer from, put them under version control with owners and effective dates, enforce a citation rule, and prove retrieval quality with a fixed test set before customers see it.

  4. Module 04

    Integrations Across the Business Stack

    Connect assisted workflows to bookkeeping, payments, customer records, online stores, and scheduling on a read-only default, with every permitted write listed, gated, logged, and recorded in an integration register.

  5. Module 05

    Quality Assurance and Performance Measurement

    Sample AI-assisted work against defined error codes and thresholds, measure what the workflow actually controls against a pre-automation baseline, and decide on evidence when to narrow, pause, or switch a workflow off.

Independent professional education

MA-SBOC is an independent professional education program. It is not a business license, professional license, government certification, regulatory approval, or substitute for qualified legal, accounting, tax, financial, healthcare, engineering, safety, cybersecurity, licensing, or regulatory advice. AI-generated outputs require human verification, and business owners remain responsible for decisions made using them. Customer and employee information must be handled under applicable privacy and security requirements; marketing claims must be truthful and supportable; employment decisions require qualified human oversight; and financial and tax outputs require qualified professional review. The program is not endorsed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, Internal Revenue Service, any state business agency, chamber of commerce, professional association, accrediting organization, software vendor, regulator, or government agency. No professional education hours or approvals are claimed, and no revenue, ranking, funding, profitability, productivity, customer-growth, compliance, or return-on-investment result is guaranteed.
