Doesn't sound like a very profitable problem to solve. At least, not in the long term (which no one orchestrating this is thinking in).

This is a use case that hasn't yet been proven out, though. "Good enough" for an executive may not be "good enough" to keep the company solvent, and there's no shortage of private equity morons who have no understanding of their own assets.
