Construction teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A document parser that handles shift handover end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
