Solar teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. In most solar businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Incident reporting handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
