A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
