1. Test how findable your business actually is
I have connected my Google Drive to this conversation. Before we organize anything, I want to test how findable my business actually is. Here are real questions about my business. Answer each one using only what you can find in my Drive: 1. What is our current logo file? 2. What is our current pricing? 3. Where is the signed agreement for our newest client? 4. What do we send a new client on day one? 5. [ADD 5-10 MORE: the questions your team actually asks each other] For every answer: name the exact file you used, and rate your confidence high, medium, or low. If two files disagree, show me both and say which one you would bet on and why. At the end, list every question where you had to guess, and what about my Drive forced the guess. Do not change anything. This is a test, not a cleanup.
2. Map what the AI can actually see
Working in my connected Google Drive, build me a map of what you can actually see, and be honest about what you cannot. First: tell me plainly which information is available to you here (file contents, names, locations) and which is not (sharing settings, file owners, view history, anything else you cannot access). Do not fake precision you do not have. Then, searching as broadly as you can, describe the major areas of my Drive: - what business function each area seems to serve (sales, delivery, finance, operations, marketing) - what lives in each area, in plain English - areas that overlap or appear to duplicate each other - the areas that would hurt the business most if they were lost or leaked Cite the folders and files behind every observation, and separate what you confirmed from what you are inferring. No recommendations yet. This is inventory only.
3. Untangle the duplicates and the Final FINALs
Search my connected Google Drive for documents that exist in more than one version: exact copies, near copies, and the "Final, Final 2, FINAL FINAL v3" families. Start with the documents that matter most: proposals, contracts, price lists, brand assets, onboarding docs. [NAME ANY DOCUMENT YOU ALREADY SUSPECT HAS COPIES.] For each set you find: 1. List every version and where it lives 2. Recommend which one should be the single source of truth, using evidence from the content itself: which is most complete, which do other documents reference, which matches what the business actually uses 3. Give me your confidence, and the business risk if the wrong copy stays in circulation Where you cannot tell which version is current, say so and flag it for me instead of picking one. Do not merge, rename, or delete anything. This is a review list.
4. Fix the names that force guessing
Review the file and folder names in my connected Google Drive and flag every name that would force someone who has never seen my business to guess. I mean names like: - "Current," "New," "Latest," or "Final" with no date or version - "Document," "Untitled," "Copy of Copy of," "New Folder" - client or project files with no client, date, or version in the name Propose one simple naming standard for my business, short enough that people will actually follow it. Then give me a rename preview as a table: current name, proposed name, reason. Mark any rename you are not fully confident about, and tell me what could go wrong if that file were renamed without a human checking it first. Rename nothing. This is a preview for my approval.
5. Check every client folder for gaps
Using my connected Google Drive, check my client records for gaps before a client finds them for me. My active clients and projects are: [LIST THEM, or tell me what you can infer from my folders]. For each one, search for the documents a complete engagement should have: - a signed agreement or contract - the proposal or scope - onboarding materials - key deliverables - invoices or payment records Give me a per-client checklist of found and not found, citing the exact file for every "found." For every "not found," say whether it might simply live under a different name or location, and list what you searched before concluding it is missing. Separate confirmed gaps from suspected gaps. Change nothing. This is a report.
6. Find the files living in the wrong place
Search my connected Google Drive for documents whose content says they belong somewhere else: a signed contract sitting in a general uploads folder, a deliverable filed under the wrong client, a financial record in a marketing folder. For each one, give me: where it lives now, where its content suggests it belongs, the evidence, and your confidence. Anything ambiguous, flag for me to decide instead of deciding yourself. Present moves as a proposal only. Do not move anything.
7. Find the sensitive material sitting in the open
Search the contents of my connected Google Drive for sensitive material sitting where it should not be: contracts, pricing, payroll or financial records, personal information, and especially passwords or login details saved in plain documents. For each finding: the file, where it lives, why it is sensitive, and how bad it would be if the wrong person opened it. Rank the list by risk. Do not quote sensitive values back to me in full. Then be honest about your limit: you likely cannot see my sharing settings from here. Based on the sensitive files you found, give me a short manual checklist of exactly what to verify myself in Drive's own "Shared" and "Shared with me" views, including which specific files to check first. Change nothing.
8. Surface the abandoned corners
Search my connected Google Drive for areas that look abandoned: folders whose contents reference projects, clients, years, or employees that are clearly in the past, half-finished reorganizations (two folder trees for the same purpose), and important-looking documents stranded outside the main working areas. You may not be able to see activity dates, so judge by content: what the documents talk about, who they mention, which years they reference. Sort what you find into three piles: 1. Archive candidates 2. Recovery candidates: valuable material that should be pulled forward, like old client work, templates, or forgotten intellectual property 3. Needs a human to decide Cite the evidence behind each call. Recommend review, not deletion.
9. Design the structure a stranger could navigate
Using everything you have learned about my Drive in this conversation, propose a simpler folder structure built around how my business actually operates, not around anyone's personal filing habits. Give me: 1. A proposed top-level structure organized by business function 2. The naming standard from earlier, finalized 3. A map of where today's content would go in the new structure 4. The test: could a brand-new team member, or an AI agent seeing this Drive for the first time, answer every question from our first prompt without asking anyone? Present it as a proposal for my review. Create and move nothing.
10. Turn it all into an approval plan
Turn every recommendation from this conversation into a staged cleanup plan I can approve batch by batch. Order the batches from lowest risk and highest value down to highest risk. For each batch: 1. What changes 2. The specific files and folders affected 3. The business benefit 4. The risk if it goes wrong 5. What I need to check before saying yes Nothing gets renamed, moved, archived, or deleted until I approve that batch, and the actual changes will be made by me or my team in Drive itself. Your job is the plan, the evidence, and the order. Give me the full roadmap first.
