TMCO Consulting YouTube Publishing Runbook

Use this runbook for the Build Week demonstration video. It describes a safe setup; it does not claim that a channel, handle, upload, or custom thumbnail already exists.

Channel setup

  1. Sign in to the Google account controlled by TMCO Consulting.
  2. In YouTube, create a business/Brand Account channel if one does not already exist. A Brand Account supports the company identity and more than one owner or manager.
  3. Channel name: TMCO Consulting.
  4. Suggested handle: @tmcoconsulting, only if YouTube shows it as available. Otherwise choose a close company-controlled variant; do not imply availability in public copy.
  5. Description:

TMCO Consulting, LLC helps organizations modernize endpoint management, cloud identity, security, and AI adoption. Provifact™ turns approved endpoint change into audit-ready proof through read-only observation, deterministic evidence, privacy-safe publication, and bounded AI explanation. https://tmcoconsulting.com

  1. Add https://tmcoconsulting.com and https://provifact.tmcoconsulting.com as channel links.
  2. Upload the repository-provided profile and banner assets from docs/assets/brand/youtube/. Verify their safe-area crop on desktop, mobile, and television.
  3. Record channel owner/manager access privately. Do not expose Google account details in Git or the video, and do not create another channel if the intended business channel already exists.

Upload the Build Week video

  1. In YouTube Studio choose Create → Upload videos.
  2. Upload the reviewed MP4. The video must be under three minutes.
  3. Recommended title:

Provifact™ — From Approved Change to Audit-Ready Proof | OpenAI Build Week

  1. Recommended description:

Provifact™ by TMCO Consulting connects a Git-approved macOS baseline to GET-only Microsoft Intune collection, deterministic drift, sanitized evidence publication, and bounded GPT-5.6 Terra explanation. Deterministic evidence remains authoritative; AI-generated prose is verified, labeled, and subject to human review. Provifact performs no Intune writes and does not decide organizational compliance.

Built for OpenAI Build Week in the Developer Tools category using Codex and GPT-5.6 Terra.

  1. Select Not made for kids if TJ confirms this business-software demonstration is general audience content.
  2. Upload docs/assets/images/provifact-social-card.png as the custom thumbnail after account verification. Do not use a third-party mark or unlicensed music.
  3. Select Public. Host guidance has said unlisted is acceptable, but the official rules say publicly visible; Public is the safest choice.
  4. Wait for HD processing. Test playback, audio, title, description, and URL signed out/incognito.
  5. Paste the final YouTube URL into Devpost. Do not mark the upload task complete until the video is playable without account access.
