It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (91) and held back by open field (43).

Lending teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Contract analysis handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
