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 minutes instead of a day.
Every finding cited. You keep the judgment. No account required.
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 hours — often the better part of a day — 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.
How it works
Scrape, structure, score.
STEEPLE factors by category, duplicates removed, severity mapped 5×5. Minutes, not hours.
Point it at a URL
A company, a market, a target. One link is the whole input.
It does the groundwork
Sourced findings, pulled and cited. Deduplicated, then organised into the seven STEEPLE factors.
You read a first draft
A severity-scored surface you can interrogate — and a starting line you reached without the desk research.
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
Perplexity and ChatGPT return cited prose. You still impose STEEPLE, dedupe, and score by hand. SteepleTool returns the framework already built.
Practitioner-priced
Enterprise intelligence platforms run five figures a year and sell to departments. This is AUD$199 a report, priced for the consultant doing the work.
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.
