Self-paced course
AI-proof your consulting firm — in a weekend.
Your clients have Claude now. This is the do-it-yourself version of the audit we run for firms: map exactly what AI can and can't do in your firm, then use that one map to defendwhat's yours, cut what isn't, and lead your clients' AI. A leaner, un-replaceable firm — worth more to you now and to a buyer later.
For boutique consulting & professional-services firms. Built on the same framework as our done-for-you audit.
Your client opens Claude and wonders what your fees are for.
Generic AI commoditizes generic consulting. The work that felt safe last year is the most exposed now — and most firms can't say precisely wherethey're exposed, what's still theirs, or what it's costing them in overhead they no longer need.
One map. Three moves.
The whole course runs on a single diagnostic — your Exposure Map(what's commodity vs what's defensible) — and three moves off it:
Defend — own and compound the context AI can't reach.
Refactor — cut the commodity work AI now does → same revenue, lower cost, higher exit value.
Deploy — stop selling recommendations; get into execution, and become the one who makes your client's AI actually work.
Six short modules. Four templates. Done in a weekend.
- 1
The Sort
why “will AI replace me?” is the wrong question.
- 2
The Exposure Map
score every workstream (the core exercise).
- 3
Defend
find your moat and stop it walking out the door.
- 4
Refactor
rationalize toward the moat: margin + exit value.
- 5
Deploy
the new engagement model + the “we’ll just use AI” judo.
- 6
Your 90-Day Plan
what to capture, cut, and sell, in order.
You get
- ~6 short slide-and-voiceover lessons
- A quiz to lock in each section
- 4 fill-in templates — Exposure Map, Context Inventory, Refactor worksheet, 90-Day Plan
- The full resource library bundled in — the book, the white paper, the objection playbook
Two ways to do this.
You run the framework yourself, on your own time.
We run it on your real firm data, set Aether up live, and your first year of the platform is free.
Start with the course; upgrade to the audit anytime if you'd rather have it handled.
Who it's for.
Boutique consulting and professional-services firms, ~10–50 people, run by a founder or partners who'd rather get a clear, un-hyped read on where they stand than wait and find out.
Questions, answered.
Is this just theory?+
No — it's built around four fill-in templates. You finish with an exposure map, a context inventory, a refactor plan, and a 90-day plan for your firm.
We already use AI — is this still for us?+
Using ChatGPT isn't the same as having mapped and defended your moat (and cut the overhead AI makes redundant). This shows you exactly what's still yours.
How long does it take?+
A focused weekend.
What's the difference vs the audit?+
The course = you run the framework. The audit = we run it on your real data, set up Aether, first year free.
Do I keep the materials?+
Yes — lifetime access, including the bundled book, white paper, and playbook.
