Insurance teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. In most insurance businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
RFP response handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
