AI process consulting that recommends what pays, and builds the software when that is the answer.
Where does AI actually pay off in your company?
For a fixed fee, we examine where AI is worth it in your processes and where it isn't. If the result doesn't convince you, we cover the cost. What pays, we implement ourselves: training, process optimization, or custom software.

WHY NOW
Make or buy is settled.
For decades the trade-off held: building it yourself was expensive and slow, buying off the shelf was cheap but made for someone else. AI has dissolved that math. Software that fits your processes now costs barely more than the standard product, and it is just as fast to get. Which shifts the real question: how much adaptation does your business need to work with AI?
THE PROBLEM
The bottleneck sits in the processes. New tools alone rarely fix it.
It costs time that never shows up in a report: interrupted work takes about 23 minutes on average to resume (UC Irvine). Finance is where we see it deepest, where 55% of the 60+ leaders we surveyed need more than a week to explain why a number moved.
See the finance surveyTHE PROOF
Before we sell it, we proved it on ourselves.
Both products we run our own company on today were built in ten weeks — just the two of us, no employed developer, for a fraction of the planned budget, live on Azure.
OUR APPROACH
How we work together.
Seven steps, with a value gate between diagnosis and delivery. We walk through the details in the first conversation.
Mandate & target state
We define the problem with the people who own it, and agree on how success will be measured.
Process intake
We map the as-is process in an established process notation (BPMN) and measure the starting point where the data allows.
Where processes cost time
We score processes, people, and systems & data against a defined grid; every score is backed by evidence.
Root causes & priorities
Every weak point is traced to its cause and prioritized by impact, effort and feasibility.
A plan you can act on
Validated priorities become a costed plan with priced modules and clear approval points.
Deliver and make it stick
We implement the agreed actions, from process optimization to custom software; we support your teams in their daily work, and every measure has to show its value.
Operations & handover
Where software was built, we run it or hand it over to your team with a clear operating plan.
THE GUARANTEE
You pay only if the diagnosis convinces you.
The price is fixed before we start.
If the result doesn't convince you, we cover the cost.
If you continue, we credit the fee against your first invoice.
OUR PRODUCTS
Two products we run our own company on.
We are not limited to these two. If your case calls for something different, we deliver that. We develop both with design partners.
For finance departments of any size
SteerSuite Finance
A finance product that builds reports and forecasts on request and keeps the context behind every number.
- Requested in plain language, with no formulas or report templates
- Answers link back to the source records your team can verify
- Available inside SteerSuite HQ or as a standalone product
For solo founders and small companies
SteerSuite HQ
Grow with AI agents without hiring for it: bring in the agents you need on demand, and release them the moment the work is done.
- Agents for the work in front of you, spun up when you need them
- Pay for what you use, scale down when the work is done
- One shared workspace for you and your agents, fully traceable
Every number carries the reason behind it.
When a figure moves, the reason moves with it: the event or decision behind it, who logged it and when, the source record. No spreadsheet and no BI tool keeps that.
Patent pending (DPMA)ENGAGEMENT MODEL
How we price.
The entry point is a time-boxed diagnosis at a fixed fee; if it misses the agreed acceptance criteria, SteerSuite covers the cost. After that, implementation is priced per module and released in stages, and you decide at every approval point.
The assessment, at a fixed fee
A time-boxed diagnosis with acceptance criteria you countersign before we start. You alone decide acceptance. If the agreed value does not materialize, SteerSuite covers the cost; if you continue, the fee is credited against the first implementation invoice.
Implementation, priced per module
Training, automating individual process steps, or custom software. Each module comes with its own price range, the assumptions behind it, and how firm that estimate actually is.
Every step has to pay off.
The roadmap has clear approval points: every action has to prove its value before the next one starts. Where software was built, you keep the solution and the capability to run it — build-transfer, with an optional short stabilization phase.
What holds across every engagement
You decide acceptance
We deliver the analysis; whether it was worth the money is your call alone.
Credited on continuation
The diagnosis fee counts toward your first implementation invoice.
Fair questions
Why is there no price list?
The effort depends on how many processes we examine; a per-seat price doesn't capture that. The diagnosis is a fixed fee agreed before we start; every implementation module is priced individually from the catalog.
What does the assessment cost?
A fixed fee, sized to the process boundaries agreed in the engagement letter. We name the number in the first conversation, before you commit to anything.
What if the assessment finds nothing?
Then you don't accept it and SteerSuite covers the cost. That is the value gate.
Does this lock us into SteerSuite?
No. Build-transfer is the default: we hand over the solution and the capability to run it. Operating it for you is available on request.
EU DATA SOVEREIGNTY
Your data stays where you do business.
How you keep control of your data.
EU-hosted
All customer data is processed inside the EU, under Microsoft's EU Data Boundary.
Zero data retention
Our AI providers retain none of your data; the code refuses to route to models outside the ZDR allowlist. Full subprocessor list and DPAs on request.
GDPR
Privacy by design: explicit consent, soft-delete with automatic purge, data-subject rights, DPA for customers.
Human-in-the-loop
Approvals always require a person; the requirement is built into the system itself.
Deterministic controls
Figures are computed by deterministic code; the model contributes drafts and explanations.
Audit trail
Every decision and agent action is logged and tamper-evident, available to your auditors as evidence.
