Anonymized engagement summary: generative AI for contract audits and policy drafting at a public transit district (2023)

Anonymized engagement summaryPublic transit district · 2023

Opening answer. In 2023 EPC Group was engaged by a public transit district to plan and implement a generative AI capability for auditing its contracts and drafting content such as policies and procedures, with up to five Power Automate flows, beta tests on the district's own contracts and go-live support.

This is an anonymized engagement summary published under EPC Group's anonymized-engagement rule: the client is not named, no commercial terms are published, and every statement is EPC-reported. Named, documented engagements are in the Evidence Center.

Problem and scope

ItemScope
OrganizationA public transit district
ObjectiveA generative AI capability on Azure to assist with contract audits and with creating content such as policies and procedures
CorpusAbout 2,000 pages, as stated in the desired outcomes
Desired outcomesAn incoming-parameters list; outgoing requirements for the AI output; up to five Power Automate flows; beta tests on the district's contracts; go-live support
PhasesPhase 1, discovery and assessment: business goals, compliance and security requirements, and remedial or pre-deployment tasks. Phase 2, design: how each component would be implemented against the requirements
DeliverablesWeekly project schedule reports (status, activities, problems, recommendations) and technical recommendations: configure and implement the AI capability according to the district's technical requirements
RolesA project manager (single point of contact, status reporting, schedule tracking) and Microsoft solutions architects (assessment, requirements alignment, provisioning and configuration, integrations, quality assurance and testing, post-deployment support)
Acceptance termsMilestone service deliverables submitted for the client's review, with an acceptance-form process — a contract term, not evidence that acceptance occurred

Not reported: which Azure AI service and model were finally configured, the number of contracts processed in beta testing, whether all five flows were built, the go-live date, hours consumed against the 40-hour block, and any measured effect on audit time or policy drafting.

Approach and artifacts

The engagement follows a two-phase plan. Discovery and assessment establishes the district's goals, its compliance and security requirements and any remediation needed before deployment; design then determines how each component is implemented. The desired outcomes add up to five Power Automate flows and beta tests on the district's own contracts before go-live support; what each flow does is not reported here.

No artifact from execution — a parameters list, a flow export, a test record or a go-live log — is cited here. EPC Group's AI consulting services page describes how assessment-to-production AI engagements are run today.
