Steadwell — AI audits for small businesses in Minnesota

An AI audit firm in Minnesota

Your day goes somewhere. We find out where.

We watch your business run, time every pain point, and hand you a report that says where AI genuinely helps — and where it will not. The audit is free.

The 21.5 hours above is an illustration, not a client result. OWNER-FILL: we have completed [n] audits; findings ranged from [low] to [high] hours a week. Until there are enough of them to average honestly, we will not state a typical result — and we will not publish a client figure without the typical one beside it.

01Meet Steadwell

There are two of us. You will meet both.

No account managers, no bench of juniors. The people on this page are the people in your building.

I time things most people ignore. That habit is where this whole business came from.

AI is still a faceless tool to most people. Nobody hands their business to something faceless — so we come first, and bring the tool after.

02The problem

Something is eating your week. You cannot prove what.

You feel it on Friday. Everyone was busy, and Monday's task still is not done. No single job looks big enough to blame.
