Is Pinch worth running as a client service?

Pinch offers a low-complexity, usage-based entry into real-time meeting interpretation across major platforms, with evidence supporting its use for multilingual client meetings and training. However, agency-specific features like white-labeling, multi-client dashboards, and API access are absent, and client pricing, labor, overhead, and expected volume are required to model ROI.
