Telecom teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a document parser at RFP response, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|

| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
