AI-Displacement Readiness Audit

Find the part of your firm AI can't replace.

Your clients have Claude now. In one week, we map exactly which of your billable work a generic model can already do — and the owned context and judgment that keep you un-replaceable. Then we hand you the plan to defend it.

Free, no pitch. A 15-minute read on where you're exposed — and whether the full audit is worth it for your firm. For boutique consulting firms; run on Aether, the context layer built for consulting.

AI Exposure Map — sample audit deliverable

The question is already being asked.

Your client opens Claude, gets a passable version of the analysis you used to bill for, and starts to wonder — quietly at first — what your fees are actually for.

Generic AI commoditizes generic consulting. The work that felt safe last year is the work most exposed now. And most firms can't say precisely wherethey're exposed — or what's still theirs alone.

The threat isn't AI. It's generic AI.

The one thing no off-the-shelf model can touch is what only your firm knows — the accumulated client context, the judgment, the whybehind every decision you've made. That's your moat.

But you can't defend what you can't see. Almost no firm has ever actually mapped it.

A one-week audit that turns the fear into a plan.

  1. 1

    Exposure map

    Every billable workstream scored: what a client's AI can already replicate vs. what's anchored in context only you have.

  2. 2

    Context-gap assessment

    Where your firm's institutional knowledge is trapped in individual heads and scattered across Slack, email, and Drive. The recall tax you're paying without seeing it.

  3. 3

    Your own context, made answerableFlagship

    Your real firm data running live in Aether: ask anything about any client, get a cited answer in seconds. The thing a generic model structurally cannot do.

  4. 4

    The un-replaceable roadmapFlagship

    A prioritized 90-day plan: what to capture, systematize, and reposition so you stay premium as your clients get AI-confident.

  5. 5

    A working readout

    We walk you and your partners through all of it.

Your first year of Aether — free≈ $5,400 value — a year of Aether on ~10 active clients

The $3,500 option includes a full year of Aether — about a $5,400 value at the typical boutique tier (~10 active clients at $45/client/month) — set up on your firm's data, at no subscription cost. The best way to defend your moat is to start capturing it now; year two, you decide whether to keep it.

This isn't a someday problem.

89% of professional-services buyers now expect their providers to use AI — or they look elsewhere. Your most commoditizable work is being tested in a chat window right now. The firms that map their moat early get to defend it. The ones that wait get repriced.

Built for firms feeling the ground shift.

Boutique consulting and professional-services firms, roughly 10–50 people, run by a founder or partners who'd rather have a clear, un-hyped read on where they actually stand than wait and find out.

Run by the team that built the context layer for consulting.

The audit is powered by Aether— the system built specifically to turn a consulting firm's own scattered context into the answer a client's AI can't give. The engine that runs your audit is the product your firm keeps.

Questions, answered.

Is my data safe?+

Connections are read-only via OAuth. Your data stays yours, stays private, and is never used to train any model.

We already use AI — is this still for us?+

Using ChatGPT isn't the same as having mapped and defended your moat. This tells you exactly what's still yours and what isn't.

How much of my time does it take?+

About an hour total — a 45-minute intake and the readout. Tool setup is ~10 minutes of OAuth.

What's the catch on the free year?+

None. The $3,500 option includes a full year of Aether, set up on your data. Year two you decide whether to keep it.

How fast?+

One to two weeks from intake to readout.

A free 15-minute exposure review — no payment, no pitch. We confirm fit and, if the full audit makes sense for your firm, scope it from there. Read-only access, your data stays yours.
