It scores 86/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by open field (39).

Logistics teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. In most logistics businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a retrieval engine at grant & funding tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
