Hospitality teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. In most hospitality businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a retrieval engine at compliance audit, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
