Government teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. Every government team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A workflow engine that handles shift handover end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
