AET

Aethym onboarding stabilize rebuilt Sat, Oct 31, 1:20 PM

In the last 30 days this account sold $351 and kept $208 of it once Amazon's cut, the cost of the goods and the ads were paid. No profit goal has been worked out for them yet, so there is nothing to measure that against.

140 people looked at the products and about 1 in 10 of them buys, spending $25 on an average order. We spent not measured on ads, which is not measured of everything they sold, and no break-even line has been worked out to judge that against.

The plan for them right now is to hold steady and stop the leaks - no new spend until it is level, and the account is still getting started.

There are 2 things open. None of them need anything from you. 2 of them are mine to do.

What is not wrong: nothing on their task board is past due, none of the automated jobs failed on them in the last two days, the ads are not losing money.

The numbers

These numbers have no goal to be measured against yet. The machine tried to work one out on 2026-10-31 and could not: entity status ONBOARDING — not trading yet; a CM target is not applicable and its absence is not a blocker. To retry by hand: python ~/.claude/skills/mode6k/derive_contract.py --client AET --apply. Until then everything below is a reading, not a score - nobody can say whether it is good.

Measured as at 31 Oct 2026 (today). Worked out here from the profit-and-loss month already on file, because the full planning step has not been run for this account yet. How the goal was set: registered 2026-10-09 by client-onboard

This board shows whether the numbers moved. It does not say we moved them - what our own work is measured to have earned is the separate figure further down.

The goal we are working to

Right now: hold steady and stop the leaks - no new spend until it is level - the account is still getting started.

No goal has been worked out for this account yet, so there is no number to aim at. The machine tried to work one out on 2026-10-31 and could not: entity status ONBOARDING — not trading yet; a CM target is not applicable and its absence is not a blocker. To retry by hand: python ~/.claude/skills/mode6k/derive_contract.py --client AET --apply.

No ladder of milestones on file - only the single target above.

Did it work

We have not made a change for them that is being tracked to a result yet, so there is nothing to score. Anything fired from here on is recorded with its before-figure and shows up in this section when its waiting period ends.

What needs you

Nothing on this account is waiting on you. Everything open is work I can do myself.

Their task board

Ranked by what each one is worth to the account per month, highest first. None of them carry a dollar figure — nobody has sized any of these, so they are ordered by how late they are, which is the only signal left.
