Agriculture teams lose expenses approved without anyone actually reading them. In most agriculture businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Expense review handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
