Custom M3

One Operating System.
Four Levels of M3.

Every Custom M3 client gets The M3 AI Core™: a continuously evolving business operating system powered by automation, AI, customer management, communication, marketing, sales, payments, events, reporting and more. Choose your level based on how much you want M3 involved.

The M3 Core keeps getting more powerful. Your level determines what M3 does for you.

Included at every level THE M3 AI CORE™

One connected business operating environment. It continuously evolves as new technology becomes available.

Software capability is not M3 labor. The Core contains the capability. Your level determines M3 responsibility.

Continuous evolution

Your M3 Core Does Not Stand Still.

Most software is purchased based on what it can do today. M3 Core keeps evolving. As new AI, automation, communication, commerce, reporting and business applications become available, M3 can incorporate them into the Core. Your operating system gets materially more powerful without rebuilding the business around a new stack every year.

Continuous M3 Core Evolution
TomorrowA more capable system than the one you originally purchased.

You are not buying frozen software. You are entering an operating system that keeps evolving.

New in M3 Core

Event OS Has Arrived.

Run events. Sell tickets. Accept RSVPs. Manage attendees. Build schedules. Send notifications. Check guests in. Another business system brought inside M3 Core.

Specific setup and implementation depend on client architecture and purchased level. Event tools are in Core. M3 running your events is Developer.
M3 Core just got stronger.

One Core. An entire business stack. M3 brings capabilities businesses often assemble across a whole collection of software into one connected operating environment that keeps evolving.

The full breakdown

Want the Full Breakdown?

Everything below explains what the M3 Core can do, what each level includes, and where the boundaries are.

Level 01: Configured

We build it. You run it.

M3 creates the initial operating environment and supports the installed system. You and your team use and operate it day to day. M3 is not providing ongoing marketing execution or active system management.

Inside the M3 Core

What the Core can do. And how it keeps growing.

Having the capability is different from having M3 operate it

Having the capability is different from having M3 operate it. A Configured client may have AI, Booster, social publishing, email infrastructure, Event OS, automation, funnels and payment tools. That does not mean M3 manually performs those activities.

The Core contains the capability. The service level determines M3 responsibility. Software access does not imply M3 labor.

CRM, communication, and automation

CRM & Customer Data

Contacts, companies, opportunities, pipelines, lead management, lifecycle tracking, custom fields, segmentation, tasks, customer history, sales activity, and custom business records. Advanced architecture may use custom objects for projects, policies, properties, assets, subscriptions, vehicles, cases, departments and other entities.

Communication Center

Email, text, phone, voicemail, social conversations, unified inbox, history, automated responses, routing and notifications.

Automation Engine

Lead response, follow-up, nurture, reminders, no-show recovery, missed-call response, routing, task creation, pipeline movement, internal notifications, lifecycle automation, operational workflows and connected system actions.

AI assistants, agents, and Booster

AI Assistants & Agents

AI configured around approved business context may help with conversations, qualification, appointment support, follow-up, service, routing, phone conversations, internal assistance, CRM activity, campaign support, workflow decisions and connected systems.

AI automatically performing work is part of the M3 Core. It does not mean M3 staff are manually performing that work.

Booster & Reputation

Review requests, follow-up, reputation workflows, feedback routing and review-response support. The automated system can perform this work even at lower service levels when configured. Managed and higher determine how much M3 maintains that architecture.

Websites, scheduling, payments, and Event OS

Websites, Scheduling, Payments

Sites, funnels, landing pages, forms, surveys, booking, calendars, invoices, payment links, subscriptions, products, checkout and commerce automation. Metered usage or transaction fees may be separate.

Event OS

RSVP and ticketed events, ticket sales, registration, public event pages, schedules, speakers, notifications, attendee management and check-in, connected to the larger M3 environment.

Capabilities that once required another standalone platform can now become part of M3 Core.

Content, courses, portal, reporting, integrations

Social scheduling and publishing, content calendars, email and text infrastructure, templates, approvals, customer portals, communities, courses, memberships, dashboards, native integrations, APIs, webhooks, connectors and Model Context Protocol connections.

The distinction is whether M3 is producing and managing content, not how many supported channels the technology can publish to.

How the initial builds differ

Public description is conceptual. Exact counts live in the Order Form.

Configured: Foundation Architecture

Get the business onto M3 correctly: CRM, lead capture, pipeline, booking, foundational website or funnel, core automation, AI, portal, reporting, users, training.

Managed: Expanded Operating Architecture

Enough operational depth for M3 to maintain the environment: deeper journeys, expanded automation, additional pipelines, scheduling architecture, integrations, reporting, AI configurations, content infrastructure, expanded users, training.

Developer: Advanced Operating Architecture

An operating system worth continuously developing: multiple departments, advanced workflows, custom objects, leadership views, deeper integrations, role-based environments.

Operator: Transformation Architecture

The technological operating layer of the company. Signed addendum governs department redesign, AI workforce architecture, custom development, infrastructure, dedicated machine deployment, change management and executive technology leadership.

Definitions

Configuration: populate and connect capabilities that already exist.

Customization: modify an existing M3 system within a bounded written scope.

Development: create meaningful net-new capability, architecture, integration, AI system, workflow system, application or operating function.

Management: M3 proactively maintains and optimizes specifically agreed systems.

Support: help with documented functionality and defect correction appropriate to the purchased level.

Small change: a reasonable bounded modification to an existing M3-built component that does not create a materially new system.

Development capacity: recurring capacity at Developer and Operator for meaningful forward development. M3 determines what reasonably fits.

Billing, usage, cancellation

Implementation fees are paid before work begins. Monthly plans bill in advance. Usage for text, email, voice, AI compute and other metered infrastructure is separate. Cancellation requires 30 days written notice. Plans cannot be paused unless agreed in writing. Upgrades are available. Downgrades require active scope to fit the lower level. Substantial new businesses, brands, locations or organizational scope require additional scope. M3 does not guarantee leads, sales, revenue or specific business outcomes.
