Government teams lose discovering a product went underwater a quarter late. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Margin monitoring handled by an anomaly detector, 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.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Government is growing at roughly 10% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 |
| 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.
