AI for the companies that hold the economy up.
Small and mid-sized companies are 99.8% of businesses in the EU and employ about two in three people who work in its businesses. They are also the companies least able to pay for the expertise the next decade demands. We use AI to give them that expertise, and to let them work together.
How we think about AI.
We build AI that does real work for four causes at once: people, the planet, fair business and communities. Substance, not spectacle. The 4 in our mark is made of four pieces, one per cause. Take one away and it is no longer a 4.
- PeopleTime back for the work that needs people, and the decisions left with them.
- PlanetChanges you can measure: less energy, less waste, lower emissions. Not reports for their own sake.
- Fair businessSmall and independent companies get the expertise only large ones could afford, and win on what they do well.
- CommunitiesLocal jobs, local suppliers and stronger places to live.
What it is not.
- Fake faces, cloned voices or caricatures of real people.
- Novelty built to go viral and be forgotten.
- Products designed to capture attention rather than get work done.
Expertise for companies too small to hire it.
A large company has a sustainability team, lawyers, a procurement department and a relationship manager at the bank. A small manufacturer has the owner, and the owner has a business to run. Steward gives that company a Chief Sustainability Officer that knows the regulations, the standards and what buyers will ask next, at a cost a small company can carry. This is not charity: it is the capability large companies already buy, at a price small ones can afford.
Better companies, not only better reports.
A report changes nothing on its own. Every gap your agent finds comes with a plan and the paperwork to close it: the missing policy, the substance to replace, the record to start keeping. We count success in companies that clear the floor and keep improving, not in reports filed.
Alone, a small company pays the list price.
Alone, a small company pays the list price, waits for buyers to find it and learns every lesson the hard way. Together, members can buy energy and insurance as a group, apply for programmes that reward cooperation, and pass on what worked.
The agent economy will arrive whether small companies are ready or not.
If buyers' agents can only read large companies, small ones lose orders they deserve. We want good SMEs to be findable, and every SME to have a way to become one.
The rules we hold ourselves to.
- Every answer shows its source, and every estimate is labelled as one, with its method.
- Private documents are separate from shared company profiles. We process relevant content to do the work you request.
- Our assessment method is public, applies to every company the same way, and is never for sale.
- Any company can see what we say about it and answer it.
