Energy teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Scheduling handled by an autonomous agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
