Insurance teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes shift handover. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
