It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by moat (28).

Childcare teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. A typical childcare operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
