Solar teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Solar is growing at roughly 24% 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
