Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Real estate is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
