Healthcare teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. 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.
Customer support handled by a retrieval engine, 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.
