- Time-cap per prospect with automatic alerts when limit is reached
- Paid-discovery invoicing and payment collection
- Capacity allocation dashboard (e.g., max 20% per client)
- Stalling detection: flags prospects inactive after X days of last demo
Target Users: Solo founders and small B2B service firms in software and consulting industries who sell custom solutions to enterprises
Revenue Model: $29/mo per user SaaS subscription or $199/mo for agency tier with multi-user and advanced analytics
