Executive Summary

Many small professional-services firms — roughly 20 million consultants, lawyers, accountants and solo practitioners — spend disproportionate time on simple client interactions that become complicated: missed scope, delayed approvals, calendar friction and late payments all erode billable time and client satisfaction. At a projected $600 average annual contract value per firm, that creates a $12.0 billion addressable market and explains why this problem is widespread and economically meaningful. The product would be a predictive behavioral layer that sits on top of PM, CRM, calendar and payment systems to surface early friction signals and recommend prescriptive actions — automated nudges, contract or invoice checkpoints, templated next steps and escalation workflows — with explainable, privacy-first AI and low-code integrations. Initial pricing targets the small-firm segment at roughly $600 ACV with pilot tiers tied to ROI, and the product should deliver measurable operational gains within the first 30–90 days. This market is attractive now because the rise of the gig economy is increasing the number of independent billable professionals, API-enabled ecosystems make signal collection feasible without heavy custom engineering, and advances in AI personalization enable earlier, more accurate behavioral predictions; the opportunity is reflected in a market score of 93/100 and a revenue-potential rating of 88/100. Differentiation will require rapid, low-friction onboarding, strong partnerships with PM/CRM vendors, interpretable models that build trust, and clear ROI proofs; the main challenges are integrating disparate data sources, avoiding false positives in prediction, and winning trust and adoption from time-pressured users.

Market Opportunity
