The Valuer's Workflow Problem
Valuers spend 30+ minutes on administration for every valuation. Email triage, job creation, field notes, report generation — all disconnected, manual, and error-prone.

The Insight: At 200 valuations/year and $150/hour valuer time, that's $15,000/year in wasted time per valuer. A firm with 5 valuers wastes $75,000/year on administration.
