Point a retrieval engine at contract analysis, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at trade schools registrars, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.

Trade schools teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. A typical trade schools operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
