Operating Principles

How we build and deploy Steered.AI

These principles shape how we design agent behavior, how we onboard clients, and how we measure value.

Outcomes first

We design agents for execution and measurable outputs, not novelty demos. Work should ship. Results should be visible.

Steered, not generic

An agent is only valuable when it matches a real business context. We steer behavior to industry rules, company voice, and operating policies.

Control and accountability

Approvals, audit trails, and clear reporting are built in. You remain in control of what runs and what is delivered.

Security by design

We apply least-privilege access, data minimization, and practical security controls aligned with business needs.

Transparency in pricing

Token billing is designed to be predictable and explainable. Weekly invoicing maps usage to work completed and delivered outputs.

Continuous improvement

The agent gets better as you approve context, templates, and playbooks. Steering is an ongoing advantage, not a one-time setup.
