We, a team of 2, built Subatix after one of us spent almost 6 years in big consulting and at certain point came to a thought like «90% of what consulting is usually data-analysis related, why not make smth so any business get same level of insights without externals and 6-figure+ checks and fast?!». Based the experience during every project everyone wants - fast answers from their data, but real ops/business data is messy, sensitive, and hard to outsource to generic AI tools due to security and output quality reasons. Most analysis still ends up in Excel, SQL notebooks and then slide decks are stitched together manually. When AI tools appeared, they helped with text and ideas, but fell apart once real business data, traceability, or auditability mattered.
Subatix is an attempt to bridge that gap. It’s a desktop workspace (macOS and Windows already available) where you open your own business or operational data locally and ask about what bothers + pre-cooked structured multi stage business diagnostic flow. The system breaks the request into analysis steps, applies standard consulting-style methodologies (KPIs, variance analysis, loss trees, scenario logic, etc.), runs the calculations, and produces quantified findings and prioritized actions. All intermediate steps, assumptions, and calculations remain visible - so everything is traceable and can be verified + users’ raw data stays local, all calculations/analysis done on the machine.
A few design decisions that make it different from most AI analytics tools: * Local-first by default: raw data stays on your machine. There’s no requirement to upload raw operational or financial data to a cloud service. In fact, users don’t even upload it anywhere. * Traceable outputs: every number is backed by explicit calculations, not just narrative summaries. * Method-driven: instead of free-form chat, the system applies structured analysis patterns used by big-consulting business analysts/associates. * Human-in-the-loop: today the goal isn’t to replace, but to make methodologies and frameworks widely accessible and to compress the repetitive, time-consuming parts so people can focus on judgment and decision-making.
The tool exists today and is usable. You can find out more and download it here: https://www.subatix.com/hn There is a trial available for all new users and also some copper production sample data available to play with - just hit the Analyze Sample Data once you configure Subatix on your machine.
We’re around in the comments and interested in feedback about both UI and UX - especially from people who do business analysis.
Happy to answer questions! Thank you HN!
