Public safety teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. In most public safety businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a workflow engine at warranty & returns, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
