Small business owners in regulated industries lack the volume to justify full-time hires for specialized functions like marketing, sales, finance, HR, or ops, yet fractional services are too expensive, forcing them to rely on untrained generalists or family members.

Workarounds Described

• founder/operator doing all of it badly
• one part-time generalist trying to cover too much
• Cheap freelancer
• Spouse or family member covering a function
• Just letting it go undone

Implied Software Gaps

• Platform that provides fractional, on-demand experts for multiple business functions at SMB-friendly pricing
• AI assistant to automate routine administrative tasks across marketing, sales, finance, HR, and ops
