Investment thesis

LeaseParse is a thin AI wrapper whose entire function a general chatbot performs directly. High inference cost compresses margin and substitution risk is maximal.

Why customers pay

Convenience today, but the moat is nonexistent.

Why incumbents are vulnerable

Any chat model summarizes a lease; margins are eaten by inference cost.

The wedge

None durable.

AI replacement risk

Maximal risk — this is literally a prompt.
