Dental teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. In most dental businesses this job has never had software written for it. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that handles RFP response end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
