Reconnaissance for consultants
STEEPLE reconnaissance
for consultants
Explore first. Assess later.
Walk in knowing things they haven't told you yet. That's what reconnaissance looks like when it takes days instead of weeks.
Every finding cited. You keep the judgment.
Diversified conglomerate · 7 STEEPLE factors, sourced
The cold-start tax
Half of every engagement is desk research you can't bill.
The part nobody misses is the days spent getting up to speed on a new client, market, or target before any billable thinking begins. Same groundwork, every engagement. Your capacity is your calendar, so that time comes straight off the top.
SteepleTool is a structured strategic intelligence tool. It produces a deep contextual analysis of a specific company's operating environment — regulatory exposure, market risks, ethical considerations, supply chain vulnerabilities. You receive researched STEEPLE factors and genuine potential risk leads with estimated severity and likelihood ratings, linked to source material.
That's a consultant-grade deliverable.
STEEPLE, built in
The framework you already sell — assembled for you.
Not a bolted-on risk lens. The seven factors, structured out of the box.
Social
Demographics, sentiment, cultural shifts.
Technological
Adoption, disruption, capability.
Economic
Conditions, cost base, demand signals.
Environmental
Climate, resource, sustainability.
Political
Policy direction, stability, exposure.
Legal
Regulation, obligations, litigation.
Ethical
Governance, conduct, reputation.
Why it's different
Sourced where the cheap tools aren't. Structured where the research tools aren't.
Sourced, not guessed
Every finding is cited to source. You can put it in front of a client without checking our work — which is more than you can say for a generic AI table.
Structured, not raw
Chatbots return cited prose. You still impose STEEPLE, dedupe, and score by hand. SteepleTool returns the framework already built.
Licensed to your practice
Enterprise intelligence platforms run five figures a year and sell to departments. SteepleTool is licensed — email for terms.
Is it the final assessment?
No. It's the reconnaissance. The formal work is still yours — this just means you don't start it cold. It won't write your deliverable, and it won't pretend to. It gets you to the starting line with the groundwork sourced and scored. You keep the judgment.
Still here. Now under licence.
SteepleTool has not gone anywhere. The reconnaissance is now licensed directly to consultants and third-party firms, so you can run it inside your own practice, under your own name, on your own clients.
Every finding is still sourced, deduplicated and severity-scored. You still keep the judgment.
