1. [[Better Search Files and Documents]] - Huge problem. - Microsoft it works out fine because everything is Microsoft owned. Good internal search. Bing indexes everything and it searches really well. Rohan uses it all the time and this is exactly how he finds things. Experienced this issue at Lucena (10 person company). Was making new documents which had the same information as something else. - Wasn't investing much time in the documents so preferred remaking it rather than searching for a new solution. - It's probably going to be super competitive given ChatGPT, ElasticSearch etc. 2. [[Business Forecasting]] - This is probably the best in case you want to bootstrap. - The most exciting given that data has started being structured and available. - Financial and health stack availability also has been made available. - Huge aversion for businesses to pay for software. Some of these guys don't even pay for MS word and Windows. - Might be better to just sell in non-Indian markets. 3. [[Visibility and Accountability in Work]] - Small company like Lucena with everyone at office it wasn't an issue. in Microsoft it's a huge issue. - Very easy to overstate the amount of work required. No one looking over your shoulder. - People who do work get more work. Particularly in non tech it's probably even worse. - Anecdotally everyone knows. This can put metrics and ground it in truth. - In India people are more accepting and don't fire and they don't care enough about this. - Might be better for manual labour or factory workers. - Problem but people might not adopt solutions. 4. [[Workflow Routing]] - Major problem in non tech sectors. For tech there's plenty like Jira etc. It's not perfect but at least dependencies are tracked. - For starting a new product line for example there's nothing clear that's there. Even in Microsoft it's a huge ambiguity because there's no clear path and it's unclear who the decision maker is and who all need to get stuff done. It's a good way to get visibility in to the structure of the process. Information into who all need to be involved and who all are really blockers for something like this. - General workflows are not figured out at all. SAP has this figured out for procurement. - There's nothing internal facing. SAP and stuff work for external facing stuff. At what size of the company does this become relevant? This may not make sense for a small company. Procurement is external facing so it makes sense. - What's the particular niche you are solving for? There's a huge scope you need to pick through what are the unsolved portions.
