The ROI of the AI Workforce

Four ways Steer pays for itself.

Steer is priced on what it replaces, not on what it adds. Vendor consolidation. Revenue captured upstream. Labor offloaded at the platform level. Growth that compounds. Most customers see 3x to 8x first-year ROI, documented in the CFO's own model.

The four ROI drivers

Four pillars. All measurable.

These are the four ways the AI workforce shows up in the finance team's model. Every driver has customer proof and a straightforward way to measure against your own baseline.

01 · Vendor consolidation

Replace the stack of point tools.

$710K to $1.7M

Customers typically consolidate 5 to 8 point tools (voice AI, digital front door, documentation, reputation, reminders, RCM apps) onto Steer. Annual vendor cost savings range from $710K to $1.7M in portfolio averages, before counting the operational lift from unified context.

02 · Revenue capture

Stop the NPR leak upstream.

2 to 4% of NPR

Industry-standard leakage from denials, failed eligibility, prior auth delays, and uncollected patient balances runs 2 to 4% of net patient revenue. Revenue Cycle AI recovers that in year one by catching it at booking, not at billing.

03 · Labor leverage

Scale without adding FTEs.

2.3 FTE per site

The AI workforce absorbs the repetitive volume that used to require a front desk, a scheduler, a billing clerk, a reminder team. Saint Mary's ASC offloaded 2.3 FTE-equivalent across six ORs. PhyNet Dermatology added zero new FTEs per acquired site.

04 · Growth multiplier

Compound new patient acquisition.

2.4x · +18%

AI Front Door and Luna together consolidate acquisition across six channels and convert leads in under an hour. Portfolio result: 2.4x new patient visits per provider, +18% gross margin in year one, +38% patient LTV in cash-pay specialty.

Directional estimates based on production portfolio averages. Actual outcomes are modeled against your specific payer mix, denial profile, current tool stack, and growth plan during the evaluation. Every customer gets a bespoke ROI model before contract.

Customer ROI, documented

Outcomes in the CFO's own model.

These are real numbers from deployments with six or more months in production. Each is documented in the customer's own finance model, not Steer's.
