Example
A Startup sells accessibility audits of marketing Sites at $290 each, billed once the Customer accepts. Its Agents crawl the Site, file each finding with a fix, and redo the audit once on rejection. Cold email to agencies wins the first audits, and agencies then hire the same audit Agent at $2 a page.
