Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General & Platform
1. What is the difference between Outpost WFM and Project Outcast?
- Outpost WFM is our corporate consulting and auditing arm, built for enterprise operations and BPOs that already have a Workforce Management team but need an expert audit, capacity model overhaul, or custom team upskilling.
- Project Outcast is our media hub, podcast, and subscription community where we break down real-world WFM challenges without a corporate filter, share downloadable operational templates, and host interactive tools.
2. How do I access Corey_AI after subscribing?
- Once you join either the Premium or Contributor membership tier, log into your Outpost WFM account.
- Navigate to the Corey_AI Workspace page and you will have immediate, unlimited access to chat with the engine.
Memberships & Billing
3. What currency will I be billed in, and what payment methods do you accept?
- Subscriptions are billed in South African Rand (ZAR) or local currency equivalents for foreign subscribers.
- We accept all major credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) and instant payment methods via our secure PCI-compliant payment gateways.
- International banks auto-convert the charge at your local daily exchange rate.
4. Can I change or cancel my membership plan?
- Yes. You can manage, upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time via your Member Account portal.
- If you cancel, you will maintain access to all tier benefits until the end of your current billing cycle.
5. Do you offer refunds on digital subscriptions?
- Because member access grants instant downloading rights to our proprietary Excel/capacity models and full access to the Corey_AI engine, subscription fees are non-refundable once billed.
Corey_AI & Digital Tools
6. Is Corey_AI just a re-skinned ChatGPT?
- No. Corey_AI is an intentionally engineered operational assistant built on long-context Gemini architecture and grounded in proprietary WFM datasets, BPO operational structures, Erlang math frameworks, and real-world floor experience.
- It is designed specifically to avoid generic fluff and give direct, practical workforce answers.
7. Can I upload my contact center's confidential roster or shrinkage data into Corey_AI?
- While Corey_AI is built with strict privacy parameters, we recommend removing personally identifiable employee details (e.g., agent names, ID numbers) before pasting floor metrics into any live web widget. For enterprise-grade, NDA-backed handling of confidential company metrics, explore our Outpost WFM Corporate Audit Services.
B2B Consulting & Audits
8. How do your corporate WFM auditing services work?
- We come in as an objective third-party partner to analyze your current forecasting models, intraday workflows, shrinkage tracking, and schedule efficiency.

9. How do I book an audit for my company's WFM team?
