A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes document review. Aimed at construction ops teams, so the work stops following people home.

Construction teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.

| Who | The gap |

| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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.
