Energy teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. In most energy businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A long-context reviewer that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes RFP response. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
