Construction teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. A typical construction operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
An autonomous agent that handles scheduling end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
