The thesis

Local businesses will pay a person, not a platform, to make their phones stop bleeding. You bundle ElevenLabs or Retell with a phone number and a booking system, and sell it as an outcome — missed calls captured, appointments booked, front-desk time saved. Solo operators are already running these; the wedge is the industry you already know.
