| **Auto-Transcription** | Good - but Gong/Chorus do this too |
| **Smart Call Prioritization** | Good - AI-ranked call lists |
| **Speed-to-Lead Tracking** | Good - important metric |
| **Gamification/Battleground** | Nice-to-have - differentiator for SMB |

## Gaps vs Competitors

| **Salesloft/Outreach** | Email sequences, multi-channel cadences, enterprise integrations |
| **HubSpot** | Marketing automation, website tracking, massive ecosystem |
| **Close.io** | Power dialer, predictive dialer, voicemail drop |

**Price Point:** $79/user/month
**Target Customer:** 5-20 person sales teams doing outbound

## Notes

- Enterprise features (SSO, audit logs, permissions) only needed if targeting 50+ seat deals
- International expansion requires removing hardcoded AEST timezone
- Integration ecosystem (Zapier, Slack, Calendar) opens up mid-market
