Construction teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 8 hours a week. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A voice agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Revenue is per-project, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
