About this appAI proposal
Steadyline helps aviation operators plan around satellite connectivity costs. It keeps every airtime contract, term, notice period and escalation clause in one place, and turns them into a multi-year cost view for each aircraft and the whole fleet.
It is built for fleet and finance teams with heavy capital tied to one vendor's hardware. Test what a sudden price change would do to your budget, see how much of your fleet is locked to one provider, and compare offers from newer providers on terms as well as price.
Steadyline does not sell airtime. It is the tool you use to negotiate, plan and decide, so a vendor's pricing move is something you saw coming.

- Why this name
- Steady line: a flat cost line over years is what operators want, and the name is two plain words joined.
In the first version
Members say which features they would use. It tells PWAS what people want; it changes no score.
Contract register
Store terms, renewal dates, notice windows and escalation clauses per vendor and per tail, with reminders before each deadline.
No member yet
Price shock simulator
Apply a price rise, such as a doubled monthly plan, and see the effect on each year's budget by aircraft and fleet.
No member yet
Lock-in map
See which aircraft carry vendor-specific terminals, their install cost, age and planned refit date, so switching cost is visible.
No member yet
Vendor behaviour log
Record notices, price changes and days of notice given. Build a reliability record to use at renewal.

PricingAI proposal
The material gives no price for tools like this. Its only price is a public claim that one aviation plan went from $10k to $20k a month. Tiers are a starting point to test, kept small against that spend.

What it could be worthEstimate
What a software business making this much sells for today, from real deals. Pick a monthly revenue.
If it makes
Worth about
$194,000
Sale range $132,000 to $263,000
$120,000 a year in revenue
From 87 software businesses listed and sold on Empire Flippers in the last year, revenue vetted by the broker: they sell for about 19× their monthly revenue, most between 13× and 26×.
Measured on profit, the middle deal is 32× monthly net profit: about 2.7 years of profit.
An estimate, not an offer or financial advice. A real price depends on profit, growth, churn, how much of the work is the owner's, and the buyer.
How it would growAI proposal
How the product would reach new customers through its own use, and how the first ones would be found. A plan to test, not a result.
- Built-in loop
- Shared outputs. Fleet managers send exposure summaries and scenario links to finance, boards and vendors in renewal talks. Each shared page carries the Steadyline name.
- Do they become customers?
- Recipients are finance and executive staff at the same operator, who could become users or approvers. Test whether they request accounts after opening a shared link.
- First customers
- Fleet or finance managers at business-aviation operators with 10 to 50 aircraft using one satellite connectivity vendor across most of the fleet.
- Where to reach them
- Aviation trade communities: Post a free price shock calculator in operator forums and LinkedIn groups, and invite users to save scenarios.
- Direct outreach: Contact fleet managers and CFOs at operators with a published fleet, offering a free contract exposure review.
- First milestone
- Five operators upload real contracts and two pay for the Fleet tier within 90 days.
Why people already pay for this
- Public claimLarge aviation customers have made multi-million dollar capital investments in assets compatible with their chosen satellite connectivity vendor
- Public claimAviation customers value vendor reliability and respectful treatment of their business planning cycles as much as service quality or cost
- Public claimCompeting satellite connectivity providers are emerging in the market

RisksAI inference
- CommercialThe tool does not remove vendor dependence. Operators may see it as nice to have unless a price shock is fresh in mind, so budgets may be thin.
- DataContract terms are sensitive and often under NDA. Operators may refuse to upload them, so entry must work with summaries and strong access controls.
- CommercialThe market is large operators with few buyers and long sales cycles. A small team may struggle to reach enough of them.
- RegulatoryVendor behaviour logs could carry defamation or contract confidentiality issues if shared. Keep logs private to each customer.
