Aeterna

You have the firms.
You don’t have the infrastructure
to see across them.

I build the operational infrastructure that PE-backed professional services firms need after multiple acquisitions — performance tracking, quality metrics, cost analysis across distributed expert workforces.

Operational Architecture

Who this is

Built at Meta. Applied privately.

I build operational infrastructure inside Meta's Gen AI organization — a distributed team of 400 expert workers across North America that operates like a startup within a large company. Performance evaluation. Throughput and quality tracking. Leadership dashboards that show where the operation is losing money. Seven production systems. 1,200 users. M.S. in Statistics. Every finding is measured.

Aeterna applies that same discipline privately. PE-backed professional services firms that have grown through acquisition face the same structural problem — distributed expert workers, fragmented operations, and leadership that needs to see across all of it.

You work with me directly on every engagement.

The deliverable

The Operational Architecture Plan

The Velocity Audit produces a precise, actionable document — not a strategy deck. Every finding is measured. Every recommendation is specific enough to build from. Here is what a typical plan surfaces:

How it works

Diagnose. Build. Sustain.

I

The Velocity Audit

A two-to-three week diagnostic of operational workflows across your acquired entities. I map where visibility breaks down, where data is siloed, where manual coordination is consuming leadership bandwidth — and deliver an Operational Architecture Plan specifying exactly what needs to be built.

$15kFlat fee
II

Build

The systems the Audit specified — built, deployed, and documented. Performance dashboards, utilization tracking, cross-entity reporting, intake standardization. Custom infrastructure you own outright. Source code in your repository. Not dependent on me to keep running.

$30k – $75kFlat fee
III

Operational Intelligence Retainer

Monthly operational visibility across your distributed workforce. A Yield Report proving what the infrastructure is doing for you — hours reclaimed, systems health, one improvement shipped each month. Available following a Build engagement.

$5k – $8kPer month

Who this is for

This is right for you if —

I work with a small number of clients. Fit matters more than volume.

  • →Your firm has completed two or more acquisitions. You have inherited multiple sets of workflows, systems, and reporting. The integration work is real and ongoing.
  • →You have 50–500 expert workers across multiple locations. Distributed expert workforces create the visibility gap this work addresses. Below 50, the problem is manageable. Above 500, the engagement requires a different scope.
  • →Leadership needs operational visibility it does not currently have. Utilization, performance, cost, quality — across entities, not just within them.
  • →You want systems, not advice. Everything I recommend, I build. The Architecture Plan leads to running infrastructure — not a presentation deck.
  • →You are PE-backed or preparing for a transaction. PE hold periods create urgency. The operational improvements this work delivers are measurable and directly impact enterprise value.

Clarity

What Aeterna is not

Not this

  • ×A generic AI strategy presentation
  • ×A team of junior analysts you will never meet
  • ×Recommendations without implementation
  • ×A subscription to software you configure yourself

This

  • →A diagnostic built from your actual workflows, tools, and data
  • →One practitioner, directly, on every engagement
  • →Running infrastructure delivered, not just proposed
  • →Custom systems you own outright — code, data, documentation

Early engagements

The methodology is proven. The practice is new.

Aeterna is a new private practice. The work is not new. I have built this exact category of infrastructure at Meta — operational visibility for a 400-person distributed workforce, in production.

You are not taking a risk on an unproven methodology. You are working with a practitioner at the beginning of a private practice — which means you get full attention.
