Confidence: Verified / Industry-consensus.
Why this matters for Candid: If the SMB is in a regulated vertical (law, home services, accounting, property mgmt), the portal is bundled into software the SMB likely already needs. The marginal cost of the portal is zero or close to it. This is the strongest case for not shopping a horizontal portal at all.
