Documented cause
AndorraAI built retail AI for Andorra's 77K population. Major retailers used Spanish/French parent systems. Independent shops had no software budgets.
Lesson
“Andorra AI must target the tourism payment and tax refund processing market — the 15M annual tourists processing VAT refunds have specific payment technology needs that Spanish and French parent systems don't address.”
