The Microsoft Copilot Challenge · 100% Money-Back Guarantee

If Microsoft Copilot can’t do it for your business, you don’t pay.

One real operational task from your business. One hour, live, in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, or Azure AI. We agree what “done” means in writing before we start. If we cannot hit it, you get a full refund — plus a written technical verdict on what platform will.

NZ$495
Credited 100% against any production engineering or rollout engagement within 60 days.
Included Free: Copilot Security & SharePoint Permissions ScanBefore rolling out Copilot across your staff, we check your Microsoft 365 tenant for overshared executive folders, payroll files, and unrestricted SharePoint libraries to prevent internal data leaks.

One task per client. Limited to 4 challenges per month. Direct bank refund if agreed criteria are not met.

How the Challenge works

STEP 01

Submit Your Task

Email hello@maintainai.co.nz with your operational bottleneck: what you want automated, what documents or Excel sheets are involved, and what a successful output looks like.

STEP 02

Written Criteria Agreed

Before you pay a cent, we write unambiguous acceptance criteria and constraints. If we know Microsoft Copilot cannot handle it natively, we decline upfront and recommend what will.

STEP 03

The 60-Minute Session

Live, screen-shared in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, or Power Automate. Up to 3 team members watch the actual workflow execute on your real data.

STEP 04

The Verdict & Prompts

You receive a written technical report within 2 business days plus the working prompts, templates, and agent configurations — yours to keep forever.
