Life sciences teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Every life sciences team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
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.
