Accountability gap

No cross-page audit trails for multi-step workflows

Task completion doesn't validate handoff readiness

Version history exists, compliance tagging doesn't

Connects actions, not process-step ownership

18-month model — conservative case

Milestone Month 6 Month 12 Month 18
Pilot expansion 4 → 6 6 → 8 8 → 12
New logos 2 14 42
MRR $8K $38K $142K
ARR (annualized) $96K $456K $1.7M

Based on 3 new logos/month starting M4 at $2,200 ACV average · 12% monthly expansion from pilots

Every month without this tool costs an ops team 14 hours of invisible rework.

Lead the $1.8M pre-seed.
$9M cap. Close in 6 weeks.
