A third more projects delivered
with informed trade-offs.
Get a third more
projects over the line.
With the same resources.
Your teams are saturated, and demand for projects keeps growing. The answer is not to add resources: it is to stop the projects that will never land, and reinvest in the ones that count. On a portfolio of 30 projects, that is 8 to 10 more projects landing every year.

teams aligned asynchronously.
A steering hub that gives executive and management committees the right level of visibility.
Making alignment between the business, IT and executive management real.
A new way of bringing teams on board.
Strategic steering with AirSaas, execution with Asana.
At constant capacity, delivering more value means stopping what creates none.
Your teams are working flat out. And yet your priority projects are not moving. Here is where the capacity goes.
Spreading thin.
Everything is a priority, so nothing is. Every project moves, none of them lands.
Capacity blindness.
Teams at 130% on paper, and nobody can say no with facts.
Value never verified.
You invest, you deliver, and nobody comes back to measure whether the promised benefit materialized. The system never corrects its mistakes.
The non-decision.
Information scattered across a proliferation of Excel files and PowerPoints: committees that take note, out-of-date slides, decisions postponed month after month. How many projects have you actually stopped in the last 12 months?
These four losses tie up the capacity that would get your priority projects over the line. The cost of the status quo is not just a wasted budget: it is everything you do not deliver.
The objection we always hear
“First we need to work on our project culture.” No.
You gave your teams a task management tool (Jira, Monday, Planner…). Good decision. But your organization is not creating any more value for it, and your strategic projects are still just as late.
Because equipping the teams is not the foundation. It is the furniture. You assembled the furniture before starting the renovation. The real foundation: choosing the right projects, delivering them at the right time, measuring what they return. Executing the wrong projects well is accelerating into the wall.

A living budget, tracked quarter by quarter against what is actually delivered.
The quarterly capacity trade-off. The ritual that forces the decision.
The Quarter Plan method, built with more than 60 CIOs and transformation leaders, installs four disciplines:
Demand comes through one door.
Every request is qualified: expected value, estimated workload, sponsor. No more portfolio filling up through affinity.
Real capacity is the wall.
By team, at quarter granularity. Every request runs into it. Saying yes to one project means saying no to another, with your eyes open.
Every 90 days, you decide.
The entire portfolio gets reviewed: continue, stop, postpone. Decisions are on the record. Dead projects do not survive the quarter.
Benefits get measured.
Six months after delivery, is the promised benefit there? Every trade-off makes the next one smarter.
What you do with the capacity you get back.
The capacity you free up is not a cost-saving line. It is the room to manoeuvre you were missing in order to deliver what counts.
Finally launch the right projects
The two or three strategic initiatives you kept pushing back for lack of bandwidth get started, and land.
Come to the ExCom with options
Costed scenarios to compare, not a wish list. You decide; you no longer absorb the budget.
Know what it returned
For the first time, you can answer hand on heart: yes, this project kept its promise.

The platform: the 4 building blocks
Four blocks, one logic: fewer projects, better chosen, actually delivered, benefits verified.
The core blockSee the block in detail
The real capacity of your teams, against all your possible futures.
The Quarter Plan: every 90 days, the entire portfolio set against the quarter's capacity. Continue, stop, postpone; decisions on the record.
The annual scenario: compare the year's trajectories side by side and come to the budget with costed options, not a wish list.
A living budget: every scenario carries its cost; the budget you voted becomes an activated scenario, tracked quarter after quarter.
AI built in: a trade-off scenario generated in 10 minutes (AI Estimate for the workload, scenario generation within your constraints, AI Milestone for the breakdown).
UpstreamSee the block in detail
Every request comes through one door. Qualified, or it does not exist.
One form and systematic qualification: expected value, workload, sponsor. No more projects launched in a corridor.
Intake queue and scoring: every request waits for the trade-off; nothing enters the portfolio through affinity.
AI built in: AI Brief turns two sentences into a structured brief; AI Estimate qualifies the workload in minutes, without pulling the teams in.
DownstreamSee the block in detail
The benefit promised, against the benefit realized. A project is an investment.
Every project declares the kind of benefit it targets: additional revenue, savings, time gained, CO2, customer satisfaction (NPS), compliance. Value is not only financial, and AirSaas recognizes that.
An indicator, a target, a deadline, an owner: the benefit has an owner; it no longer floats around in the business case.
The promised / realized review, in session: the gaps get looked at and owned. When everyone knows the benefit will be verified, business cases become honest again.
Across the boardSee the block in detail
Reporting takes care of itself. Your committees decide, PMOs arbitrate.
Flash Report in one click: the portfolio summary, PPT or PDF, in your company's colours, with no re-entry.
Built-in BI: the portfolio dashboards, filterable by department, inside the platform.
slides.airsaas.io: presentations generated on demand from the portfolio's living data.
The AirSaas MCP server: your portfolio queryable from Claude or ChatGPT. Ask a question, get a sourced answer. No French competitor offers it.
Stop waiting for more resources. Deliver more value with the ones you have today.
Demand for projects is exploding, capacity is not keeping up, and the reflex answer is to ask for more: more budget, more hiring, more contractors. The capacity trade-off takes the problem from the other end: it frees the capacity you already pay for, tied up by projects with no value, and reinvests it in what counts. The leader who runs this ritual no longer asks the ExCom for more resources: they deliver more results with the resources they have.
AI agents in service of the trade-off.
No gadget AI: agents that remove the data-entry and formatting work, so human time goes to the decision.
Framing — the project brief in minutes
Drop in your documents and the agent structures the framing sheet: objectives, expected benefits, proposed milestones.
Planning — the milestone plan generated
AI proposes the list of milestones and suggests the dates. The project manager adjusts; they no longer start from a blank page.
Reporting — the flash report that writes itself
The essentials of the project review on one slide, generated from up-to-date data. No more Sunday-night PowerPoint.
Decision — the portfolio that answers
Query your projects in plain language from Claude or ChatGPT, through the AirSaas MCP server. Secure read access, data in Europe.
The numbers measured at our customers
100+
companies make their portfolio trade-offs with AirSaas, from Kiabi to Valrhona and Leroy Merlin.
8 projects
stopped on average at the very first trade-off, with the capacity reinvested in the priorities.
80%
fewer project meetings after four months: the ritual replaces the status committees.
Our interest is the same as yours: that you deliver more, not that you spend more.
No user licences: everyone gets access to the tool, from the project manager to the ExCom. You pay €60 per active project per month, and when you stop a dead project, your bill goes down. We do not gain from inflating your portfolio, we gain from making it more productive.
The calculation you are doing right now — let us do it together. A portfolio of 30 active projects is €1,800 a month, all in: unlimited users, all 4 blocks, the connectors, the AI agents. Stop 8 of them in the first quarter? The bill follows.
30 active projects × €60
1 800 € / month
Users (CDO, PMO, ExCo…)
Unlimited, included
Modules, connectors, AI agents

8 projects stopped in Q1
−480 € / month
Your Q2 invoice
1 800 € / month
1 320 €
That is an estimated return of €26 for every €1 invested over the year.

For reference, that is about 0.2% of the cost of a project, to secure the decision that determines 100% of its value.

Frequently asked questions
Those are task management tools: they are there to execute a project. And an organization often has several (Jira in IT, Asana or Monday on the business side, and so on), because each team executes its own way. AirSaas replaces none of them: it sits above, as the portfolio steering layer, and it is cross-functional. That is why a company has several execution tools, but only one AirSaas. And it is not reserved for the ExCom: project managers and POs keep their projects up to date in it, PMOs prepare the trade-offs in it, decision-makers decide in it. Most of our customers keep their task tools and add AirSaas on top.
It is a different job. Abraxio does the management accounting of the IT department: budget, suppliers, chargeback — the inside of the house. AirSaas does portfolio steering and governance: what we launch, what we stop, what it returns, with the business, executive management and the ExCom. Many of our customers have both: one keeps the IT department's accounts, the other governs its investments.
Not in the sense that everyone would have to abandon their tools. AirSaas is the single place where the portfolio is steered, so it is used where that happens: project managers and POs keep their projects up to date in it, PMOs and the CIO Office prepare the trade-offs, decision-makers decide. Teams keep their execution tools (Jira, Asana, Monday) and AirSaas connects to them. We roll out on the scope that matters, not by imposing the tool on the whole company at once.
The model follows the portfolio, not the headcount: €60 excl. VAT per active project per month, unlimited users. Stop a pointless project and the bill drops accordingly. It is a governance cost that pays for itself on the first project stopped, not one more per-seat licence to defend every year.
From the reference studies on portfolio waste (PMI, Gartner: 10 to 15% of project investment with no realized benefit) and from what our customers find at their first trade-off. We have gathered all those studies in a Q&A space: ask your questions about the cost of waste directly there.
