Use case: client discovery

How to run Salesforce discovery from the org, not just the interviews.

Interviews tell you what the client thinks the org does. The org tells you what it actually does. Use both, side by side.

In one paragraph

Running Salesforce client discovery with SyncOnAI 360 means connecting the client's org, reading its health, audit and architecture profile, asking it questions in plain English, recording discovery calls as transcripts beside the org, and turning what you find into evidenced findings that feed the proposal.

01The problem

Why Salesforce discovery takes too long and misses things

Discovery is weeks of workshops and screen shares. The client describes the org as they remember it, and the surprises appear in the build phase.

  1. 01

    Memory, not evidence

    Stakeholders describe intended behaviour, not actual configuration.

  2. 02

    Weeks of workshops

    Discovery time is hard to bill and easy to overrun.

  3. 03

    Surprises later

    Hidden automation and debt appear mid-build.

  4. 04

    Notes everywhere

    Interview notes and org findings never meet.

02connect

How do you see a client's org during discovery?

Have the client connect the org, or a recent sandbox, with Salesforce OAuth. It syncs in the background with progress shown; metadata and source are read, CRM records are not. Health, the audit and the dependency graph follow from the same sync.

  • OAuth connection
  • Metadata, not records
  • Health and audit from the sync

Apex coverage 78%, from the org's last test run

  • 3 Flows on Case run on the same trigger
  • 11 Apex classes below 75% coverage
  • Managed package source hidden by Salesforce: 2 packages

03read

What should you read first?

The health score and the audit's weakest sections, the Architecture lens for how the org is built, and the automation on the objects the project will touch. Ask the chat to explain the processes stakeholders describe, and compare.

  • Weakest sections first
  • How the org is built
  • Stated versus actual

04interviews

How do interviews and evidence come together?

Record discovery calls in a browser tab and the transcripts are saved as pages in the same workspace as the org. Ask the chat to pull out the requirements, and check them against what the org actually contains.

  • Calls transcribed into pages
  • Requirements extracted
  • Checked against the org

05risk

How do you surface risks before the build?

Lineage shows what depends on the components the project will change, and the audit lists overlapping automation, legacy rules and security exposure with evidence. Risks found now are priced into the proposal, not discovered mid-build.

  • Dependencies of the change area
  • Evidenced risks
  • Priced into the proposal

06output

What does discovery produce?

Evidenced findings with effort and cost, transcripts and requirements as pages, and a read-only audit report the client can open. Selected findings become a priced statement of work in one step.

  • Evidenced findings
  • Requirements as pages
  • A statement of work

07questions

Which questions should discovery answer from the org?

What runs on the objects the project will change, which automation overlaps, how security is set up, which packages are installed and how much of the code is tested. Each of these is answered from the synced org rather than from memory.

Ask the stakeholders why things were built; ask the org what was built. The gaps between the two are where the project risks are.

  • Automation on key objects
  • Security and packages
  • Test coverage

08How it works

How to run discovery

Org and interviews, side by side.

  1. 01

    Connect

    The client connects their org or a sandbox.

  2. 02

    Read

    Health, audit and architecture first.

  3. 03

    Interview

    Record calls as transcripts.

  4. 04

    Compare

    Check stated behaviour against the org.

  5. 05

    Report

    Share findings and price the work.

09Checklist

Discovery checklist

  • Get the client to connect the org or a recent sandbox.
  • Read health, the audit and the architecture profile before the first workshop.
  • List the objects and processes in scope and ask what runs on each.
  • Record workshops as transcripts beside the org.
  • Compare what stakeholders describe with what the org contains.
  • Note risks with their evidence and cost.
  • Share a read-only audit and turn findings into a statement of work.

12Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. A recent sandbox works for most discovery.

No. Metadata is read; CRM records are not stored.

Yes, from a browser tab, saved as pages. It needs an OpenAI key for now.

Yes, as a read-only audit report link.

Yes. Selected findings become a priced statement of work in one step.

Several minutes for a large org, in the background.

Yes. Engagements carry the statement of work into the deal room.

Yes. Every plan includes every feature.

Yes. Ask the chat to explain a process and compare it with the interview transcript.

Only to authorise the connection and, later, to approve changes.

That is your pricing. The audit gives you evidence and estimates to price discovery findings consistently.
