Construction teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
