Consulting Interventions
We diagnose structural diseases and install the Operating Spine that lets founder-led businesses scale with discipline.
Diagnostic Sprint
"You sense something is structurally wrong but can't name it precisely. Growth has created friction that you can't pinpoint."
The Intervention
- Deep structural diagnosis using our 25-disease taxonomy
- Mapping of disease presence and severity
- Identification of structural bottlenecks
- Prioritization of intervention roadmap
Expected Outcomes
- Diagnostic Report with disease map
- Severity scores for each disease cluster
- A prioritized intervention roadmap
- Clarity on structural risks to scale
We'll assess if a Diagnostic Sprint is the right entry point.
Operating Spine Install
"You've diagnosed the issues. Now you need the structural backbone installed. You need a system that runs without your constant intervention."
The Intervention
- Custom design and installation of your Operating Spine
- Cadence architecture and review rhythms
- Definition of clear decision rights (RACI)
- KPI systems and escalation protocols
- Accountability model design
Expected Outcomes
- A functioning operating system embedded in your business
- Not a document, a working rhythm
- Drastic reduction in internal friction
- A business that runs predictably without founder heroics
This typically follows a Diagnostic Sprint. Let's see where you are.
Fractional COO
"You need embedded operating leadership but aren't ready for a full-time COO hire. You need someone to run the rhythm while you build internal capability."
The Intervention
- One of our partners sits inside your business
- Running the operating rhythm and cadence
- Building internal capability and leadership habits
- Managing performance systems and escalations
- Systematic exit once capability is built
Expected Outcomes
- Operating independence
- A business that runs without the founder being the system
- High-performance culture of ownership
- Consistent hitting of strategic targets
For businesses that need embedded operating leadership.
AI Setup Sprint
"I know AI can help me work smarter, but I don't know where to start. I'm not technical. I've tried ChatGPT a few times but it felt underwhelming."
The same architecture I'd install for you is running live as my Personal OS — nine subsystems, public dashboard, real metrics.
What You Get
- 2-3 focused 1:1 sessions (virtual)
- Full Claude-based AI system setup tailored to your work
- Custom prompt library for your specific workflows
- Tool recommendations matched to your needs (no code required)
- A working AI-powered operating rhythm by the end
You Walk Away With
- AI integrated into your daily workflow, not just bookmarked
- Confidence to use AI independently going forward
- Hours saved every week on research, writing, and admin
- A system you actually use, built around how you think
Fixed price. 2-3 sessions. No ongoing commitment.
Self-serve start, no call needed: send two lines about your work and what you've tried. I reply within 24 hours with a clear yes, no, or a better path.
Personal OS Build Sprint
"I downloaded the Starter Kit. I get the architecture. I don't have four hours a week for three months to wire it up myself, and I'm not going to learn to code to make this work."
See the live architecture powering this on my Personal OS — nine subsystems, public dashboard, real metrics.
What You Get
- Kickoff + discovery to map your workflow and pick the right 3-5 subsystems
- Weekly 60-minute pairing sessions over 4-6 weeks
- Async support on Slack or WhatsApp between sessions
- The Starter Kit architecture customised to your stack
- 30-day post-launch warranty on everything we built
You Walk Away With
- 3-5 live subsystems talking to each other in your operating rhythm
- Full ownership of every prompt, config, and SOP. No vendor lock-in.
- A self-improving OS baseline that audits and upgrades itself
- Confidence to add subsystems 6, 7, 8 yourself or stay on Care
One-time, done-with-you. Final scope and price agreed on a scoping call.
We'll scope on a free 30-minute call before anyone commits.
A Build Sprint is collaborative. We pair on live Google Meet or Zoom sessions to install subsystems on your actual machine. You own the codebase, credentials, and SOPs at the end. To make that possible, a few baseline requirements:
- Laptop with admin privileges. Personal or work. A locked-down corporate machine where you can't install software won't work.
- OS. Windows 10/11 or macOS 12 (Monterey) or later.
- Specs. 8 GB RAM minimum, 16 GB recommended. 20 GB free storage.
- Internet. Stable connection, 10 Mbps+ for screen-share pairing.
- Installed before we start. Claude Desktop (for Cowork), a code editor like VS Code, Chrome or Edge.
- Time commitment. 4 to 6 hours per week of live pairing sessions across 4 to 6 weeks. You bring your actual work; we build the subsystems around it.
We cover all of this on the scoping call before you commit. If you're not sure any of it fits, book the call and we'll figure it out together.
Personal OS Care
A Personal OS without maintenance becomes dead code in six months. Care keeps yours compounding instead of decaying.
Available after a Build Sprint, or if you're already running a Personal OS and want to keep it live.
What's Included
- Monthly 60-minute audit call. What's decaying, what's upgradable, what's next.
- One new or upgraded subsystem every quarter. You pick the priority.
- Model upgrades, bug fixes, and prompt refresh as kernels evolve.
- Priority async response on Slack or WhatsApp, within one business day.
Monthly retainer. Final scope agreed on a fit call.
How it ladders
From a first AI system to a firm that runs without you
Each rung stands on its own. Together they run from your first AI setup, to a full Personal OS, to the operating backbone of the business itself.
AI Setup Sprint
A working Claude-based AI system built around how you work. The entry rung.
Build Sprint + Care
Install a full Personal OS, then keep it compounding instead of decaying.
Operating Spine Install
When the firm, not just the operator, needs the structural backbone to scale without the founder as the system.

What people ask before they start
What is a Personal OS?
A Personal OS is an AI operating system built around one person's work: standing agents, scheduled automations, and a memory layer that carry the recurring load. The test is what runs while the owner is not typing. I build Personal OS systems on Claude, and I run my own in public, with live metrics on this site.
What does the AI Setup Sprint include?
Two to three focused one-on-one sessions that end with a working Claude-based system shaped to your actual work: projects, prompts, and the first automations. It is the entry rung of the ladder; current pricing is on this page.
How is a Personal OS different from using ChatGPT or Claude directly?
A chat window answers when asked. An operating system runs on cadence: standing agents, scheduled tasks, and memory that persist between sessions. The difference shows up in what moves while no one is prompting. My own system's live metrics are published on this site; that is the standard a Personal OS is built to.
Who delivers the Personal OS Build Sprint?
I do. I architect the build, pair with you weekly, and sign off on the system myself. The sprint includes kickoff, weekly pairing, async support, and a 30-day post-launch warranty.
What does Personal OS Care cover?
Ongoing maintenance for a live Personal OS: a monthly audit call, one new or upgraded subsystem each quarter, model upgrades, bug fixes, and prompt refresh as the underlying models evolve. Support is async, with responses within one business day.
Does Anjani Pandey run his own Personal OS?
Yes. My own multi-subsystem AI operating system runs my consulting practice, my content pipeline, and my personal systems, and it runs in public: the live metrics are on this site. It is both the product and the proof.
Does Anjani Pandey also work with businesses?
Yes, through MetMov, the firm I founded. MetMov installs the operating spine for founder-led firms in a senior-led, 90-day engagement; details at metmov.com. The Personal OS line on this page is for individuals and operators; MetMov is the track for the business itself.
Not sure which intervention is right for you?
Every engagement begins with a diagnostic call to understand your specific structural diseases and scaling goals.
