A workflow engine that handles renewal management end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|

| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
