Back-Office Fix Projects

One surface. Fixed scope. Done in weeks.

Six scoped engagements that take one back-office surface from where it is to where it should be. AI installed only where it earns its keep. Three delivery models, calibrated to your team's capacity.

How the Fix Project model works

A Fix Project takes one of your back-office surfaces and rebuilds the workflow around it. We document the current state, design the target state, install the AI tooling that fits, train your team, and hand it off. One surface, one engagement, finished.

The three delivery models

Guide & Embed. AEstruct designs, the client team executes.

Lead Hands-On. AEstruct leads design, configures the tools, runs vendor procurement, trains staff.

Fractional AI Leadership. AEstruct sits as fractional AI lead for 3–6 months. See /fractional-ai-ops.

Production Finance Fix

Price band: $35,000–$150,000. Timeline: 6–24 weeks.

Bidding off Excel. Cost reports rebuilt from scratch every Monday. Variance explanations written by hand. Residuals filings as a recurring monthly drag.

Production Operations Fix

Price band: $40,000–$160,000. Timeline: 8–24 weeks.

Production schedules, content calendars, post pipelines. The scheduling and project-tracking work that runs every show but lives in someone's head.

Rights & Clearance Fix

Price band: $40,000–$160,000. Timeline: 8–24 weeks.

Music cues. Stock footage. Talent likeness. Twelve registries, hours per asset, and an E&O carrier that wants documentation that holds up.

Release Operations Fix

Price band: $35,000–$150,000. Timeline: 6–24 weeks.

Delivery specs that differ by platform. QC docs that change every quarter. Platform paperwork that lands or doesn't.

AI Governance Fix

Price band: $25,000–$120,000. Timeline: 6–24 weeks.

Your AI tool adoption has outrun your policies. Your distribution partner is asking AI compliance questions. Your board wants a defensible answer.

Tool Pilot Sprint

Price band: $20,000–$55,000. Timeline: 4–8 weeks.

You already know the AI tool you want to test. You don't need a full Fix Project. You need a structured pilot with clear pass/fail criteria.
