Landscaping teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. A typical landscaping operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes knowledge capture. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
