Legal teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. 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.
A document parser that handles reporting & analytics end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-matter, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
