| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
